A drawing of a person holding scissors and the words, “Three Poems by Ally Ang”

“I have spent / the currency of my body / clawing
my way out / of the blood-dark dirt /
that birthed me”

Super excited for these poems @theoceanisgay.bsky.social in @seattlemet.com.web.brid.gy

lightning | fire | thunder 1. lightning daughter of Changó, daughter of Cuba, temper incarnate, see how you've raised me to diminish, to hunch, only the tallest trees are struck. daughter of lightning, you made me small, made me thunder, with every strike i follow you. i ask, if i put down roots and grow, will you pass me over? if i join the earth, will you let me be? you say it's all up to chance, and with your confirmation bias the odds aren't in my favor. but the rumbling thunder has touched the ground, and i've worked hard to cultivate hidden roots. the next time you strike the earth, i hold it, shake the ground to let you know my roots grow too deep now for you to touch. i stretch my branches into what was once your sky. 10

We're still trying to raise $246 this year to cover expenses, if you're feeling generous.

We'll never charge a submission fee, and we pay our writers.

Your help will also ensure that we can bring on a guest editor in the new year, to avoid that whole 'monolithic voice' business 💛🖤

Thank you. 🐝
