valentine's poem
the dragon rises
rusting at the joints, real hot blood falling
into the evergreen trees
trees of the north
each beat of wings is a tremor
through the wheezing chest and still white earth
below the claws
there is no home anymore.
poor thing, we see it wheeling up above
bellowing
the cold too much
the fall too far
we cover children's ears and eyes yet our bodies feel the shaking
after making sure the blood has stilled
we go home to feed
our fires
- written for the @writeblrcafe secret valentine exchange, a gift for @aziz-reads! i hope the fantasy elements came through, and happy valentine's day <3

As the cherry blossoms wither.............
Through the tinted window, blue
Is the horizon, on which my thoughts
Lay, afloat white foam, against the
Pink hued wonder of your being
Spring bears the tidings of mist morns
Love thorns, as us lovers seated
On the threshold, wondering the
Conclusion of the ages agony, is
Amor the glorious sunshine or are
Thou amor, withering cheery blossoms
Of the winter scene................................

every december i hold my breath and days pass over me like skates on ice ice too thick to see through.
last week, although i don't remember when i tilted my face into the snow and watched. i watched the black sky and the snow that fell like the grit of broken glass.
i watched something appear from nothing. i watched the skaters from below.
i tell myself when i look up to see the webs of snow, of cracks december is not the end.

The University of British Columbia Okanagan has been placed under an evacuation order.
In a notice posted to social media on Friday, the university said everyone must leave campus immediately.
If anyone is on campus and needs access to transportation, they are asked to make their way to H lot.
Everyone is asked to leave immediately and in a calm manner.

owena's ode
the last time you remember really running was on the slashed-up field of your elementary school sweat and sun and your hair in your eyes as you skinned your knees in the dirt
the blood pulsing down your legs like your heartbeat, because it was your heartbeat that afternoon on the field—
you are the most yourself when you are in motion even now
even when the sun has set by the time you key closed your sticky lock and your blood has stayed where it's meant to be but nothing is where it's meant to be until you find yourself running like crazy for that other patch of grass on the muddy ground

it's feb. 15 and i still love you
that flock of hearts down broadway— i see them go by through the windows on the downtown bus today. they're spinning on string from trees just low enough to catch and read, and i wait for the readers
when i can. at the stoplight i see a young woman pause her stockings ripped at the thigh and hair fallen from a bun so she is human. but through that window she has no flaws when she reads the fluttering heart and smiles just long enough for me to catch her smile.
then in traffic slow at five minutes a mile the little boy is hoisted on his father's shoulders and his mouth is stained blue so he is human. he reads like each word is new even as his father's back must be aching. but time
is here for all of us today and i catch his smile, too, blue and uneven in unpractised happiness

desire paths
on the crest of a wave
on the sling of a song
the train
makes the sound of the blues
rumble and footfall
and tumbling over
together, we all
sing it

A petition to the government of Canada is calling on them to open up seeking asylum to transgender and non-binary people from places with eliminationist laws regardless of where they are from. It specifically cites the UK and US.
Petition to the House of Commons, whereas:
The world is becoming increasingly hostile to transgender and nonbinary individuals;
Transgender and nonbinary people's rights to live as themselves are being restricted and removed in many places;
This includes the so-called "Western democracies" which have historically been presumed safe;
The United Kingdom is revising their Equality Act to exclude trans people from its protections;
More than a dozen American states have enacted or are considering legislation eliminating or criminalizing gender-affirming care; and
Canada has prided itself on being an inclusive, tolerant, and welcoming society for everyone regardless of gender identity or gender expression.
We, the undersigned, residents of Canada, call upon the House of Commons to extend to transgender and nonbinary people the right to claim asylum in Canada by reason of eliminationist laws in their home countries, whatever country that may be.
Sign the petition here
#note that the link didn't open for me from tumblr#but the petition is searchable on google#important
