after the storm, the air still shakes in me
 my hands remember lightning as a need
 i learned to count the quiet between texts
 to read the hum where wanting learns to wait

i loved like weather trained to never rest
 each charge a plea, each spark a risk to take
 i mistook burning fast for being held
 and paid in ash for every promise made

i feared the dark would swallow me alone
 or worse, i’d live unknowing who i was
 so i kept standing in the electric
 afraid that calm would mean i’d disappear

then something warm met static without fear
 no grasping hands, no prophecy of storms
 just presence steady as a grounded wire
 that let the current soften as it stayed

now love feels like the sky just after rain
 still bright with charge, but finally safe to breathe

Today’s queer poetry reading is “Ime is a Mother” by Ocean Vuong ✨🌈 starting off the new year with a finished book of poetry 😊 it was dark, heartfelt, heart-wrenching, and absolutely queer. I’m looking forward to reading more by Ocean Vuong #poetry #queerpoetry #lgbtqbooks #booksky #lgbtqpoetry

December likes you, don’t you see
she she sat with you
learning your pauses
memorizing the way safety sounds

she does not rush
she stays
hoping one day
you’ll notice
she is already here

December likes you, don't you see.

she loves the quiet between moments
where nothing is asked of her
she waits near corners
with people who feel like shelter

with ... 𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐜𝐫𝐮𝐬𝐡
softness does not rush
it sits close
breathing slow
teaching her that safety
can be a shared space
and not a test

Reading some Audre Lorde today

There is something to be said about diversity in your reading material

Hearing someone talk about a lived experience that’s so different from your own in their real and authentic voice is a powerful thing
