#sunflowerfield
There is a sunflower field
in Dixon. I’ve never been,
but I used to own a dress
the color of red plums and milk.
I tore it dancing in the orchard
that October forgot to map.
This is about lines, but mostly about what humans
say about sunflowers, about being golden inside
& we keep singing light & we keep saying no & seek.
& there is this bit about freedom
& the edge of the world being not edged
but centered close
& sometimes even in the poems we are strayed.
I should have kept the torn
dress for the daughter I will have,
but I can’t stop thinking about florets
& if they are rust
or luster or maybe like that skin
between my knees that keeps shedding—
Space any space begs, move
slower, bite softer, kiss
less of me.
I thought love was like this
& flesh was a word you learn
in girlhood. I thought I want familiar
& wild & blue-eyed & here, I am dreamscape —
my feet are healed
& I am turning in a fog film
of flowers. I get to kiss every boy
I’ve ever lust if just for a sap minute,
only soon they are tearing my dress
off & there is plum juice
on my shoulder blades & the law of gravity
is the law of wanting; there is this center
of pollen & it keeps pulling us,
bending earth to grain.
& its not about reflection or maybe it is
but backwards; the sky is warm rust orange
& moonbeams green & all these boys
are in the stars & I am left with one
I barely know but want to turn to comet dust.
His name changes when he touches me,
& this fog is rain we’ve danced with before
& we are drinking on a cloud—a glass
atrium filled with glass bottles blue
like hope & light is seeping
& pollen is longing & I say
earth dream earth, and his refrain is flesh flesh flesh
meaning whole meaning, this is our home &
our bath tub is oil & stem, meaning
kiss more of me. Blow me to powder,
pulp me to sun-milk, leave me lineless.
SC Sunflower Festival 2021!
The first birthday brunch makeup activity! Best friend was out of town during my brunch so we decided to go to the festival instead! It was super hot and random but I enjoyed myself and the sunflowers were so pretty!

“Keep your face to the sunshine and you cannot see the shadows. It’s what sunflowers do." - Helen Keller
I had the greatest need to have a hug couple of months ago, I was all alone in my apartment and I couldn’t meet my friends, siblings or parents at all because of the corona isolation. I felt so lonely and sad back then so I decided to do some sketching (I really had to put my feelings on paper) and voilà!
I’m so happy with the result even though I almost lost my mind while colouring the flowers (I really dislike doing backgrounds, especially repetitive ones). So that’s why it took so long to get this art piece done but I think it was definitely worth it! And I’m feeling a lot better now too : 3

this butterfly wanted to say hello! I live butterflies because they’re such a beautiful comparison to being trans.
