Melissa Verlorenje citiralaпрошле године
amber says, lying is the work

of those who have been taught that their truths have no value.

reading that one line

makes me want to slide myself between the book’s covers,

cry myself to sleep.

i’ve always needed books,

the way some of my punk queer friends need cigarettes,

or weed, or clear packets of molly the size of a thumbnail.

a man told me once,

i’d like to wear heels in public,

but i’d also like to live

sometimes it’s important to be alive than to live

condemned her to live alone on the moon, forever circling

between the heaven she dreamed

of and the home she left behind.

and this is why the moon always seems so lonely, why

the touch of moonlight always feels like tears
