Book Review: the chosen one by vanessa maki

She takes the inherited power of her black femininity, gifted from the one who came before, and her own ability to utilize that power as the slayer, to become the chosen one. “Blk Buffy / the one who destroys things / look at her / she’ll stomp on your pretty packaged life.”

pagans have more fun

the needle skips, you pour more salt. i’m not fucking listening, / i promise. throw scripture into static—rip

i don't choose / who to love, don't have anyone

i don't love. love is not love / without self

the process of healing

“I’ve always associated gardens with an abundance of healing magic. It’s where my family goes to spill our scars and history and watch something good take root. It’s where we go if we want to walk away lighter. A place I can’t quite look at without feeling an ache in the hollow of my chest.”
