i imagine not far // there is not much to protect // skin and soul alike mean little to me
// its you they serve and provide for // is it you that would gain more value by my heart
and touch? // is it you that shouldve been my shield? // can i survive without this
service // desiccation in mother cave // wilt without water // it feels dry // the air //
only for you my giver // i bloom // such is my only protection // from the silting of soul

Rahele (she/her) studies dead things and alive things and writes about both. She is constantly finding new disguises in her hairstyles, so don’t worry if you can’t find her…. Anyways, you can find her on Instagram @rahele.megosha.
