Look what I've purchased - yup When the Rose Speaks its Name a Sherlock Holmes Anthology, a charity anthology showcasing queer Holmes and Watson inspired by the original Arthur Conan Doyle canon.

I can't wait to start to read it but right now I need to finish something before I do so later today :)

always equals

poem by Linda M. Crate

if a prince should come for me, i will send him away for i am a queen in pursuit of a king; someone who knows heaven isn't always easy to find but is worth having, someone who knows my flaws and accepts them along with my beauty and my virtue—someone who isn't afraid but respects my ferocity and fury, someone who knows both my tempest and my soft singing waves; someone who can withstand all my elements: fire, water, wind, earth, and void—he who can know my sarcasm and know without hestitation if it is a joke or if i'm seriously done with the situation that may arise, he who can whether my storms and my thorns; and still want me—i have met many a prince intimidated by my power, i want someone who can lift me with his gaze and remind me of my divinity and voice when i have forgotten my magic; someone with whom will support my dreams and whose dreams i can support—someone who knows i am valid and i am whole on my own: even if i am a woman, because we've never been lesser; always equals.

Linda M. Crate's poetry, short stories, articles, and reviews have been published in a myriad of magazines both online and in print. She has five published chapbooks A Mermaid Crashing Into Dawn (Fowlpox Press - June 2013), Less Than A Man (The Camel Saloon - January 2014), If Tomorrow Never Comes (Scars Publications, August 2016), My Wings Were Made to Fly (Flutter Press, September 2017), and splintered with terror (Scars Publications, January 2018), and one micro-chapbook Heaven Instead (Origami Poems Project, May 2018). She is also the author of the novel Phoenix Tears (Czykmate Books, June 2018). Read more of her work in our Hallow’s Eve issue!

anxiety teeth

the teeth of anxiety gnawing through me when you said we needed to talk nearly paralyzed me into insanity must have been plastered on my face like a statues easily read expressions for you told me not to worry which naturally only stirred up my nightmares more i really needed to know then what was going on it was the waiting that killed me always does, but you refused to give my anxiety the swift death instead stretching it out and prolonging it the way a sadistic hunter tortures their quarry for hours; finally the fangs of your hounds pierced the flesh of my rabbits until i bled openly into your palm and you said nothing. - linda m. crate

burying you by Linda M. Crate

instead of burying the hatchet i would just like to bury you beneath the earth where the creepy crawlies sling their bodies upon the soil, and things are too deep down to grow; that way your bones can no longer cut especially not those teeth whose favorite morsel were my words fashioning them into weapons against me— people told me you were a good person i ought…

first they launch

a war against our bodies and our

rights to make decisions regarding

our own health

because birth control isn’t only

used to prevent pregnancies

in case you weren’t aware,

and for those of you that don’t need a

march

i’m so glad that you’re entitled to your

rights and are in a position where

you could never be hurt;

but i fight for…

Christmas Contest: Poetry 2nd Place

Christmas Contest: Poetry 2nd Place

in our hearts

all the children

with eyes

shining like ornaments

  eagerly anticipating

a man in a red suit

to grant their christmas wishes,

  and all the reindeer

landing on the roof and the cookies

and milk left out for santa;

  every song i used to listen to

a new thing to their ears

every snowflake a promise of tomorrow—

  soon christmas eve will fade away

leaving christmas behind in its wake…

“i am dropping you in the creek where you can wash away forever, all your contempt and your scorn; i can still see it in the sirens in your eyes that i once mistook for mermaids“
