The closest parallels to my gender do not exist in nature
My internal organs are in the process of catching up to the brutalities of my youth
Between sleeping and eating
Three syllables on papyrus
Witches push glass with my fingers
To a hemisphere of fruition
Bodies of water
Last night I was a shrine, my legs a garland around your neck
The latitude and longitude of my desire is 10.777166, 106.695501
Now we move through the same space and our house is filled with water
The quadrant of my unknown self, unknown by both you and others
I don’t know what I look like without literary culture
Bodies of water
An unsustainable arts practice
The sun in its cardinal moment
Terrain of skin
The aesthetic decisions we make to enact our desire
The negotiations of touch
Radiator muscle spasm
A message sent across three different mediums,
left on read
Witches pushing glass with my fingers
Bodies of water
Last night I was a shrine, my legs a garland around your neck
The latitude and longitude of my desire is 99.999999, 999.999999
