For the writers asks: 1 and 40
1. what font do you write in?
I generally draft in Arial, but my writing partner drafts in Georgia so we're constantly swapping fonts in documents as we pass them back and forth 😂 sometimes I draft in Comic Sans just to piss her off
40. please share a poem with me, i need it.

Walking. I am listening to a deeper way. Suddenly all my ancestors are behind me. Be still, they say. Watch and listen. You are the result of the love of thousands.

Insomniac’s Song
by Danielle Boodoo-Fortuné
.
The night is a bomb.
No one will sweep
up the morning.
I am wrecked,
startling,
a vessel hollow
and lost
Undone, I wander
an ocean of dying
moths, with a heartful
of flammable terrors
to buoy me.
This is my moon,
Sliver of bone
Rattling
among the flotsam
I know the sun
will not wake
for me..

Lemon balm is for forgiveness.
Pull up from the root, steep
in boiling water. Add locusts’ wings,
salt, the dried bones of hummingbirds.
Drink when you feel ready.
Drink even if you do not.
Pepper seeds are for courage.
Sprinkle them on your tongue.
Sprinkle in the doorway and along
the windowsill. Mix pepper and water
to a thick paste. Spackle the cracks
in the concrete, anoint the part
in your hair. You need as much
courage as you can get.
Water is for healing.
Leave a jar open beneath the full moon.
Let it rest. Water your plants.
Wash your face. Drink.
The sharpened blade is for memory.
Metal lives long, never grows weary
of our comings and goings. Wrap this blade
in newspaper. Keep beneath your bed.
Be patient, daughter.
Be patient.

Perhaps I will confide in Xochiquetzal,
goddess of childbirth, mother of ocelots and flowers.
Perhaps I will write letters
to my own mother with invisible pigment

Adventures of Menstrual Sex
by Skai Juice
I grew up in a very misogynistic culture in the Caribbean. I didn’t realize it because naturally I thought that this was the way life was supposed to be. The thought of having sex while a woman was having her cycle wasn’t even up for discussion. In fact it was the reason…

"Life will break you. Nobody can protect you from that, and living alone won't either, for solitude will also break you with its yearning. You have to love. You have to feel. It is the reason you are here on earth. You are here to risk your heart. You are here to be swallowed up."
Louise Erdrich
"Lifted", 2015
