Leah Kent. 46. Colorado. Queer poet. Quiet troublemaker. 🖕🧊

Willing to chat (especially with queer folks!)

WIP: Fully drafted queer dark academia in revision and partially drafted story that I think is about queerness, identity and religion.

Day job: Research methodologist with a focus in affordable housing and climate change adaptation.

Misc: Atheist, heavily tattooed, intersex 💛💜, covert introvert.

Too messy to curate an aesthetic.

I work in non-profit. I have no money. Don't ask.

Have you never considered the strange voluptuousness of fire, the perversity of water, the sensual subtleties of light?

I didn't want any flowers, I only wanted to lie with my hands turned up and be utterly empty. How free it is, you have no idea how free — the peacefulness is so big it dazes you, and it asks nothing,

“If the burden is too much and stays too long, even love bends, cracks, comes close to breaking and sometimes does break. But when it's in a thousand pieces around your feet, that doesn't mean it's no longer love.”
