Today I woke up and drew the Queen of Wands
Now I'm holding the staff of fire and stoking the flames
My friends are all artists, and together we shine
I recline on the couch
A good book on my knee, a cooling mug of coffee beside
And I catch myself thinking
My life is full of wonder
And I love it

Growth is hard. Going through it is to be stuck between the past and the future, old patterns and new possibilities and realizing your potential but being held down by the results of past choices. It's discordant as all hell. So I guess the only way forward is to keep laying the foundations for Later in the very difficult Now, hoping that it will start getting easier, feel more right, as time continues to pass.

I'll keep this short, I know you're busy
Uhm.
If I could water the garden in your eyes
Only to pluck what grew there
Pressed them in the pages of my books
Maybe I would forget about them
But my favourite verses would still sing from the shelf

Here in the slow hours
Under whirring fan
The sheets summer sticky
Quiet moment beside your slumber
I think about every other night
Years past
The day distilled and the sun sinking orange
Dusty hot smell in my childhood bedroom
How I felt alone with my books
And spent time with dragons' teeth
And how somewhere in the decades you were waiting
The small space before settling into bed
AM radio, sing me to sleep
-Annie MK, 2024

I'm only as pretty as my girlfriend tells me I am
Internet tgirls boosting pics into heaven with hearts and awe
Here I sit on the ground, looking for a little validation
But I'm not a hyper-fem
My body wants to remind me at every turn
"You were born a man, and you'll have to fight to feel right."
Hair sprouts, junk bulge, face coarse, bones big
Can't take a razor without a spreading burn
I don't think I'll ever look like them
Petite and hairless, genetically gifted
Could be a filter, but no one is sifting
Everyone tells them
You're such a cutie :3
Rainbow of hair and a dress dripping sexy
Skin on display like a manic pixie
It's hard to compare, harder to not
I don't have long hair or a soft, curved complexion
Womanhood is not something you wear or
Should even have to earn
I shouldn't have to present to pass their inspection
But the airwaves are toxic, a constant feedback loop
They're all just as desperate to be seen
To be told they're pretty, they're doing it right
But the girls with heart shaped faces catch all the love
And I look like a cross-dresser, six feet and above

Brain Food
As I slow down a little
I see more and more
Of the magic infused
Green tenacity, blue expanse
Little used lives in bright brittle
Of ignorance, I'll refuse
Precision in witchcraft I hone to be sharpest
The measure of practice meets all demand
The stunted wrathful come armed
They club at the walls of home
I eat more brainfood, lift brainy weights
Run a whole brain marathon
Faster is better, stronger is best
I'll summon the spirits of the vines
And spread rampant through their garden
All in good time
-Annie MK 2024
