Ghost | Girl | Cypher
i think i’m mourning
in my dream, my dad is dead
my dad his hija
trans girl & her wrath
in the dream land, needles
puncture toward ghost
something out of time
how can i be okay tonight?
bones weave & i awl
a vine of uvas
& i don’t know why i feel
love-but i do love
the valley woman
solders into wrist a pair
trans girl & her dad
flo werg hostca sket
woozy woozy breasts appear
something out of time
shapeshifting casket
glamor a home to sleep in
my skin clean of him
de-gloss all the wrath
like i owe him anything
this fantasy land
i wanna be / am
a single point in spacetime
flower ghost casket
& divine femme juices
or at least the dream of them
shapeshifting mutant
puncture a question
build a papier-mâché hut
de-gloss lips to eat
so i’m left with zinnias
i can be a woman i
an ancient valley
