the carnival of life forecloses / as we try to rationalize our dreams / our nightmares, our queerness
nothing but meat
Defective in body, in gender, in desire. / Misunderstood like the movie monster.
advice to my 17 year-old self
rehearse your own desirability to yourself, you are not broken / your love is powerful, most people have never experienced it
Looking for colors
Don't tell me how much I have to want something / or what it means to me.

and did you know that purple / is the last color of the rainbow / and it means i will trust and love you / for a long time
The Blank That Fills Me Up
I never knew / A blank could be - / So beautiful
My hips don't tell either
I was fine until the day / I heard them say: / "because we are sexual beings", / I'm supposed to relentlessly want it.
¡Adiós masculinidad!
Adiós, masculinidad caduca y aliados. Corta vida os deseo.
