This is the full text of #IWant — a poem from my WIP #FuckMeLikeGraffiti, which dives headfirst into the sexual self. It’s about love, lust, and the edges of intimacy. You can hear me read it over on TikTok.

Text of the poem reads: Softcore Mirrors (after The Honeymoon — Juno Calypso) steam & grout— lomo pink skin pushed against aubergine tiles eyeliner flakes riding suds like moths flashbulb faith & flesh collapsed
A woman with voluminous red hair sits nude in a heart-shaped pink bathtub, her back to the camera. The tub is filled with white bubbles, and she’s surrounded by mirrors reflecting her image again and again—each reflection slightly different, creating a sense of repetition and self-surveillance. The bathroom is pastel pink with soft, artificial lighting, evoking a retro, dreamlike atmosphere.
This poem is from a WIP called #FuckMeLikeGraffiti.
It’s called Softcore Mirrors (after The Honeymoon — Juno Calypso). Poem & self-portrait that sparked it below. I've written extensively on my gender, now I'm focusing on my sexual self. I'm expecting a dwindling readership at this stage 😂
