leave so nobody else has to. swallow that pill, sit on that bar stool, let the alcohol watch you. don’t text. don’t call. don’t go home until they forget you exist. carve yourself out of that picture. carve yourself a new home.
AS A SELF-DEFENSE MECHANISM is a collection of queer poetry featuring themes of violence, immortality, (un)adulterated love and self-loathing, God as a concept, and something a little softer. A first publication.
