I want my love back. I want my ghosts to possess my lungs - resuscitate my ancestors while I breath in laughter. For the ball inside my throat to hurl fire - to make love to the sun scare shadows intimidate death and offend darkworkers. A love where God’s water breastfeeds me at the bottom of the ocean - baptising my blood and transforming my saliva into gold. Love me. Want me. Find me. Give, it, back.

Greed, Repurposed
I want my love back. I want my ghosts to possess my lungs - resuscitate my ancestors while I breath in laughter. For the ball inside my throat to hurl fire - to make love to the sun scare shadows intimidate death and offend darkworkers. A love where God’s water breastfeeds me at the bottom of the ocean - baptising my blood and transforming my saliva into gold. Love me. Want me. Find me. Give, it, back.
