every sapphic book i love → the color purple by alice walker*

I wash her body, it feel like I'm praying. My hands tremble and my breath short.

* as a trans person myself, I do not support alice walker. but this book, and what it represents in the canon of black lesbian literature, is deeply important to me.

THESE VIOLENT DELIGHTS

The pain of it was almost physical. The years had worn on between them, had aged them into monsters with human faces, unrecognizable against old photos. Yet no matter how much she wanted to forget, it was like no time had passed at all.

“I don't need your pity. I need you to kill them for me. You have to kill them for me,” Venka hissed. “Swear it. Swear on your blood that you will burn them.”

@dailyaoc event 04: meet the members — the poppy war by r.f. kuang
