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)
