Writings

A growing collection of poetry, reflection, and story written by queer, disabled people sharing about the sexual, sensual, erotic, intimate, complicated and beautiful parts of our experiences.

Barely Above Water.
Acrylic on canvas. 20x16". 2020.
Image description: a painting in landscape view, this image shows the artist, a woman with fair skin and brown hair at a side profile from the chest up before a pier looking up at a pale blue sky.
The water is painted with distinct brushstrokes, flowing before her, many hues of white and blue. She's wearing a leather coat with a purple, and yellow scarf. She is also wearing a chocker with my curly hair down and wearing a multicolored mask.

This brown, tanned femme has two red tulips in place of her head. The tulips are surrounded by three green leaves. She is wearing a white tank with blades on it that reads "no more spoons." Her belly is showing and she is wearing a bright pink pencil skirt. Her fist is raised and she has a floral tattoo on her arm.

"The only thing straight about me are my top surgery scar lines"
From Queer Paper Dolls Coloring Book by Clothilde Cook
photo of an illustration on a computer screen, creating a pink and green moiré effect, over the image of a black and white line drawn illustration of a queer person sitting in a wheelchair that has a spiral design on the wheel. They wear a spiral headpiece that matches the chair wheel. They have on small pants and their legs are amputated at the knees, upon which oblong spirals have been drawn over the scars. They are shirtless and they have a flat chest with top surgery scar lines, in the background are outlines of puffy clouds or plant life.

Communication

Words are taken for granted
Thrown into the atmosphere
Annunciation is cast-off
Without a care of who can hear

Flashes; Mine

in october
breath shatters silence
morning fog envelops my body
parched leaves on my skin open their mouths to
a cloud of dew.
