how to cook a woman
Original poem written 10.05.2024
if
my mind
has been plowed
by the police state
and
my soul
has been watered
by my sisters’ tears
then
my future
will sprout
from the seeds of pain
planted in the burning cracks of my heart
i will not boil silently
or follow the recipe
ignoring the taste of myself
i will harness the light
growing shade for others
Now available on my Etsy shop: this FINE eco-friendly soy candle, shipped directly to you or your friend. For all those times you said “I’m fine” but were actually irritable, neurotic, exhausted, or a charming mix of all three.
Smoke signal your roommate. Validate the heck out of yourself. Light up the dark. As the flame burns revel in the sweet smell of acceptance. Available in 6 scents or unscented (for us extra-sensitive types). Buy or gift here.
