[Text ID: “Oh, sweetheart. My foolish / hope. My sun-swallowed sky. / My spine & how it aches for you / again & again, swelling, brimming, / thick-as-honey sunflower static.”]

when Jody Chan said "i was born homesick in my own body does it ever get better?" and when Topaz Winters said " i was so cruel to my body & still it never once faltered in kicking /screaming/ fighting me alive." and when Ocean Vuong said "the body is a blade that sharpens by cutting" and when Warsan Shire said "my body is burning with the shame of not belonging" and when Blythe Baird said "I'll admit it : I blamed her for teaching me how to be cruel to my body, because she let me watch her set fire to her own"

Look at her. Tell me that girl is not a song of burning. Look at her and tell me her eyes are not a housefire waiting to happen.

“Years and taxes later we would run into each
other again in that same airport terminal, and you
would look me up and down and say,
‘Wow. You really did change your life, didn’t you?’”

I always think about -
“Must I say it to survive? Then I will. I will. / I love the girl. I love her like bitter wine. I love her like dead things eating their way into existence.”

Topaz Winters, from Portrait of My Body as a Crime I'm Still Committing; “High Specific Heat”
[Text ID: “When you smiled, the morning blushed pink / & gold. Violent & tender. Horrifying & warm. / My ache left me behind. I thought: okay. / I could get used to this. / & I did. I got used to you. You became a habit / & god knows I can never get rid of habits. / You, who told me I was worthy. / You, full of ink that tasted like wine—you / translucent & dreaming of flight.”]

Winter shakes her head at these two like this for Jaune, for shame. Robyn is thinking about using her semblance in her, and Winter tries to warn her to not even think about it.
What does Winter want Jaune to do to her I wonder.
Winter: I can't believe those two want to do such things with Mr. Arc, I would never do such things
Robyn: *Smiles* Oh? And what do you want to do with him~?
Winter: *Glares* Don't even think about it or I'll cut your hand off
*Robyn chuckles and backs away*
*Winter makes sure that no one is around before she pulls out a picture of Jaune she stole when he arrived at Atlas*
Winter: *Sigh* If only I could tell you how I feel and how I can see our future... a nice place warm house in Vale, a couple of kids, and just a loving family, oh what I-
?: Winter?
*Winter's eyes shoot open and she slowly turns around only to see Jaune, Emerald, and Cinder staring at her. Jaune is shocked, Emerald is smug, and Cinder is glaring with jealousy*
Winter: I... Uh... There's no good explanation for this...

& god you want to be wanted,
& god fits perfectly in
the space between her mouth
& the American dream.”
