As someone with an invisible disability, there is a strange disconnect between looking the way women are 'supposed' to while having the kind of body inside that is unwanted.

even as you cry over pictures I place arm around you, when you deliver flowers to the dirt I stand beside you. even from beyond the grave your sweet,sweet kiss is all I dream of,my love

[poemswithouthomes]

you unmade me even kronos / devoured his children / whole / even that spiteful titan knew / how love consumes / i swallowed you totally / i let you be a stone in my belly / i tasted / the weight of you / i didn’t mind / i could bear it / i carried you within me / until all astraeus became ghosts / and eons before they blinded me, i bore you / across oceans / yet you struck my core with ire on your teeth / a sickled tongue / and ate your way to freedom / flitting my dense remnants / for impetrate neutron stars / beware, my love was massive / eruptive, a black hole

The Bear // on the fate of the tulip sultan, by Katrina Vandenberg

[windlass-abbey]

I looked outside the window this morning

A horse made of clouds galloped across the open plains of the sky

Oranges and purples streaked across the dazzling blue

For some reason I saw your eyes

Smiling in the sunrise hues
