I absolutely love the phrase "she ties me in forget-me-(k)nots".

favourite poem:
☄️ cherry blossoms
--

there is no story where two girls get a happy ending. she tells me fine, we’ll write it ourselves

Girls loving girls is the most beautiful and sometimes the scariest thing in the world.

This short but powerful poetry collection tells you about the doubt and the strength and finally the beauty that comes with loving girls. I am honestly speechless at several of these poems. I also loved how some of them addressed the portrayal of girls loving girls in media.

they pull the trigger, but when she is kissing me
only cherry blossoms come out. ( )

she tells me love is the most beautiful natural disaster
and for the first time, my tsunami heart believes it.

I'm not a big poetry reader but I really enjoyed this book - it felt really strong and raw and somehow both warm and a bit sad at once.
My favourites were The Rememberings and Love in Goddess-Speak. I liked the rest as well but I could feel really strong emotions pouring out of those two.

gods and their shadows.
monsters and their whims.

all this holiness, cracking in the space between our chests.
