i’m a woman born where the hills roll like old records, where the dirt’s thick with stories and the air tastes like whiskey and wildflowers. the mountains bleed black tar, poison dripping into creek beds, and the government’s promises stink like rotting meat in a locked fridge. but the women, ******* — they keep moving. sideways, under, through the cracks in the system. they’re not saints or martyrs — just survivors with sharp teeth, ready to bite through the ******** ready to carve out their own **** place in the raw, relentless hills they call home.

a woman of appalachia
i’m a woman born where the hills roll like old records, where the dirt’s thick with stories and the air tastes like whiskey and wildflowers. the mountains bleed black tar, poison dripping into creek beds, and the government’s promises stink like rotting meat in a locked fridge. but the women, ******* — they keep moving. sideways, under, through the cracks in the system. they’re not saints or martyrs — just survivors with sharp teeth, ready to bite through the ******** ready to carve out their own **** place in the raw, relentless hills they call home.
