I’m sorry it’s been so hard healing from spending my formative years
setting myself on fire so he couldn’t touch me,
tempering that fire into embers of desire when I was young
only to be heartbroken in my late twenties
and turning into a bonfire that burned everyone who tried to reach for me.
I hope you understand,
how I never wished to hurt
anyone.
But fire wills what fire wants,
to eat, and to eat, and to burn and to burn.

A poet processes trauma

A series of notes from 2018 until now

#corvusrobotica #poetry

I am standing thigh high in salt water
and singing for you to come.
I can’t swim.
C’mon.
Excuses turn to thick saliva like blood in my mouth.
C’mon.
I grew up hooking worms and throwing lines.
C’mon.
I keep having nightmares of things moving
in the dark. C’mon.
I’ve braided my legs with kelp before and it was
fine. C’mon.
I’ve slept on a boat in storm, I’ve dived
until my nose bled.
I licked salt water of my own knees before.
come on, follow me, follow me down.

If I was happier I think I could have loved more,
I think I could have turned this energy to mischievous hijinks
and giddy smiles.
To be childlike in love, then nothing like a child, in love.
Hands clasped behind my back, tip toed balanced,
smile first leaning up to you.
If I was happier this is how I imagine I would love -
like a joyous imp, like a 50's children's book gnome;
brightly coloured and weirdly gendered.
