she was both intrigued and delighted
lost in that particular soft embrace and passion that I hadn’t known
when will our bodies conjoin, move away from newness?
we are coming out every day, it’s all coming out
war paint
feminine divine
I am all the more blessed
in the city you stepped out and tasted the ashes
I pick a pebble
liberated in my epic resilience
I prickle with imagined stares
spread makeup and calm
I’m off the rails, I’m quite trans

Affirmed, uplifted, cheekbones sore from smiling… These were some of the feelings shared at the end of QBS Online last night.
Y’all, it was so special this week! We heard marvelously sensual descriptions of first love from a local author, a book review that sparked discussion about the meaning of family (bio and chosen), and the intro to a fantastic, hot-off-the-presses book (***r by Bex Mui) about reclaiming our q***r spirituality as a birthright, not to mention as a mental health practice.
I’m so grateful I get to convene and facilitate community events like Q***r Bedtime Stories. You better believe we’re not going anywhere (except…maybe everywhere!)✨✨✨
