#Trinititie Childs

[notchainedtotrauma]

we make flowers out of our own blood. we can put them in water. we can put them in dirt. we can keep them and grow something else. flower you. we make love out of our own pain. the pain that comes. again. again. we made you from our regular pain. our red and fleeting joy. we grow blood out of our low accessible hearts. our stretched legs. our belly parts. we take love from the part of the brain that don’t breathe. we paint the world with the blood we keep. or leave.

from Dub: Finding Ceremony by Alexis Pauline Gumbs
