Drifting Off On A Branch (Pt. 1)

How I Survive in the World vol. I

Nila Phul

-With obsidian in my bra and carnelian under my tongue

-By trailing forbidden fruit seeds when I leave the house

-With my mother’s number on speed dial

-With gifted cinnamon from my lover in my pocket

-With perfectly lined lips and fishnet tights

-By alchemizing the void into appetite

-By finding love in the shopping mall with sticky fingers

-With the indoctrination of the stars in my eyes

-By making eye contact

-With tied tubes

-By being bestfriends with oregano, parsley, & carachipita

-With a keffiyeh tying my hair

-With matches in my teeth

-With stones in my tote

-By linking arms with the ones I love

-With kunik kisses

-By making space (intentionally)

-By taking up space (intentionally)
