This summer we’ve lost each other in healthy heat. I hang about all day straining the flesh of my apple to its core and singing to you through its juice. Whilst holding on to young weight I poke my arse in the air, let myself labour in your lap like a puppy that’s found something… Continue reading Immortal fruit by Sophia Georghiou
Loving them can be free, It can be everything you want it to be, Through thunder, lightning and the rough sea, You can be who you want to be.
