bless the dancer’s body that houses you. the lush red in your palms, frayed ends of your ma's saree tucked into your denim. shedding off manhood to touch grace. I see you. I see you & I set you free from my gaze. colour yourself in jazz. blur out of your body & become dance.

Another Anniversary of Her Death Four years ago, bolts unlatched, trees uprooted, and so the heart. Blasphemous pink muscle, it keeps on beating.

This project from @sawakonakayasu is so resonant to me: "In the last few years, is there something you’ve lost for which you haven’t felt permission to mourn? What invisible loss have you endured?"

I keep returning to this poem. So much. "I want to take you places You have never been. With anyone. I want to tell you everything. How once when I was 26 I drove around and around searching for other Lesbians. I want to show you every scar."
