If there’s one thing that photos don’t do justice, it’s meteors. IRL it’s like “Oh! There’s one!” but in the photo it just looks like a little lens scratch 🤷‍♂️ but anyway, here’s my best effort from the Geminids on Saturday night. #Astrophotography #Geminids

i would have been a fantastic tree.

roots. fuckload of roots connection’ me to the earth and shit.

An #unusual memory flits like a #leaf, calling to me like #pollen luring a #common #bee but #why this one? It begins with a Christmas bauble, I watch it fall and understanding hits me like a #squall— a cruel gift from the #Krampus my final memory of you and I.

with leaves and shit. bark, too.

she’s got stubble on her face which she didn’t ask for. her bubble was misplaced inside a boy’s locker room, encroached unto lovers like the boys do. In the mirror I assure her that we aren’t there with the Axe, body shaved; I’m a newborn babe. What will I learn to say? #poem #poetry #trans

i used to think there was a box in my head brimming with #nothingness. then i gave it a chance, finding #shame there. i gave the shame a chance too. i think i get that one Nirvana song now, because that box was full, and once the shame was exposed, it gave way to my #heart: unwrapped at last.

An eclectic assortment of the magnificent dead trees of Deadvlei contrast against a red dune, clothed in Namibia's warm twilight. A surreal, uniquely beautiful scene, so typical of this special country! #photography #travel #bluesky #nature #landscape #naturephotography #landscapephotography
