Passed down like folk songs
our love lasts so long
<3
The first day we met, I drew a fish and an eye on his whiteboard. The second time we met, he told me he kept them. It has been half a year, and the fish and the eye are still there. To me, love looks like a fish and an eye.
-my poem
/“The Kiss” but gay, Evie Freel/ Eileen Myles, Peanut Butter/ Sappho, translated by Anne Carson/ The New Bracelet, Henryk Siemiradzki/ Radclyffe Hall, The Well of Loneliness/Orlando, Virginia Woolf/ Best Friends, Malcom T. Liepke/
There’s an ache of eighteen. In the back of the car with your mother. In your childhood friend’s home. In hallways you’ve walked a thousand times. In the shortcut home from school. In the marks on the wall long outgrown. In your last assignment. In packing your life into boxes. In a space with people you grew up and apart with. This will not come again.
Life returns to fleeting moments that must be gripped tightly for fear of losing them; you return to the kitchen floor.
The edge of childhood. Please take my hand. Please don’t let go.
