| the summer is at its full weight / i stand in the air-conditioned kitchen looking out from the window (why / is it that so much happens at kitchen windows?) the summer is at its full weight i stand in the air-conditioned kitchen looking out from the window (why is it that so much happens at kitchen windows?) they must be the crossroads of what is happening inside & outside ourselves a smashed pane of glass away from being someone else entirely thunder ripples the field outside the sun ripens in the sky a decaying peach burst across the clouds somewhere in the tall grass a clutch of tick eggs starts to hatch About the author: I am a gay man, a father, a writer, and a friend to many. I have been active in the anti-contact MAP community since 2022. I have served as a moderator on both VirPed and MSC, was active on reddit until my account was banned, have appeared on podcasts, networks with clinicians, and do countless other things that I find it difficult to keep track of. I hope that my contributions help pave the way for a brighter future for the coming generation. |
