Silent

silent

as I sit deadly still

I hear the voices in the hall get louder

and louder as they go down it

until suddenly there's a shouting match in the kitchen

I could go, could try to stop the verbal carnage of the usual saturday squabble

be present for the slamming door and shattering glass

but I stay here, silent

FUCKING GETCH OU

FUCKING GETCH OU

2 years ago

If tonight be our last and the skies fall and the universe splits in two

i would like to go with the imprint of your head leaning on my shoulder

the sound of your laugh filling my eardrums and blocking the impact

the shatter of everything falling as you sigh and make some remark that they really picked their timing, you just mopped the floor-

that would be the blueprint, my dear sweet friend, for the rest of our short short lives

and I would like that.

two princes

hand over hand

in the firmest handshake

"I hereby declare these two kingdoms unified once more"

hand on hand

in the finest linin

we consecrate a marriage

the only one we could ever have had

the maids know to keep their mouths shut

the mattress will never know their lesson

hand in hand

I whisper an "I love you", so softly that the wind could never snatch it away

although I wish I could shout it from the rooftops

and yet

you hear

and whisper one back

so low it could never reach the church's high steeple

and be proclaimed at the masses to the masses

and yet

I hear.

I absolutely love talking about transmasculinity it's genuinely so freeing and cathartic to be able to talk about my experiences and community. I love you, transmasculinity <3

ode to the trans experience

you're in your town, in your room, completely alone

maybe the house is empty and maybe you're still quiet anyway, terrified of someone seeing you

they think this came from nowhere and you know better

as you undo packages and slip the thing over you

you feel something in you start to sing

no sooner is it on then you have to take it off

but that soaring feeling is worth the four and a half hours worth of work it cost

you're in a street

bag in hand and headphones on trying to ignore the glares

when you hear the jarring tones of a child

high pitched, asking "mammy is that a boy or a girl"

and she doesn't know, and you don't really know either

all you know is you want out, out of this line, out of this body

out of this tiny town and it's tiny mindset

the mind boggles with wonder at how people could be this ignorant

you're in class

you're trying to focus

you're trying to be objective

but come on, how could you ever read

these two men who spent every waking moment together, who talked about each others bodies

as just good friends

and never wonder more

instead you lie sobbing as they have always been here

we have always been here

you're in a shop

and your mother calls

and you've just had sex with a man who likes men

yet still she calls you daughter

and as you try to protest that you're still normal you stay there half an hour trying to convince her

only to be utterly useless and walk out

broke and broken

you're on a path

walking back to your flat after yet another fight

you see your soul smoking on the ground and you break down

your friends lift you out and up that flight of stairs

it will be okay, you swear as you sob into the same old sheets

the ones who used to ask don't even want to know
