Poem Contains text information about individual contributors to the anthology. Text Any textual data included in the document wherein they critically break out with harsh Hairs on their Backs, which takes off the unquiet Symptoms of the Disease, and delivers them from Coughs and Convulsions —Thomas Browne, 1690 It makes sense to me to taxonomize pain by how you hear it. Some hurt pushes out of the body cacophonously: sounds of expulsion, like lungs blowing out fluid, or a brain, hot with throb, letting loose a moan that carries some out on its back. But it’s quiet as a night full of thieves when the test comes back positive. Another question of semiotics, like how we trust raw footage more than a painting—the reality of both the light and the eyes squinting to keep the light out. They caught it on camera when the museum visitor went berserk on a painting. First, she clawed at it. Next, she took off her clothes and rubbed her body all over it, almost as if she was trying to get inside the wall-sized canvas. Reports indicate she then peed on the floor, staining the $30 million work. I think of that splatter, the sputtering sound it must have made as she left a bright trace of herself, when I find her mugshot online. There’s a huge, gleaming diamond tattooed on her throat. The pain of the needle that worked over her voicebox has fallen almost silent. —<a href="https://waqueeranth.omeka.net/items/show/653" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Patrick Milian (he/him)</a> Content Warnings Warnings about any potentially harmful or triggering content present in the text. mental health medical trauma illness Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Poem Contains text information about individual contributors to the anthology. Text Any textual data included in the document One of the first stops on the tour is the royal family’s glass collection—crystal birdcages. clocks with translucent mechanisms, chimes, tureens, and snuff boxes— so clear it’s like looking at nothing but heat. No one in my family wants my dead grandmother’s glass collection, which is just a calamity of gravy boats and ramekins she got from a catalog a century ago and kept in the attic until she found her husband hanging from a bowed rafter. Since then, every piece has somehow survived while all the husbands, uncles, and brothers have died young and starving, lost in the belly of a forest no one can see. When your body warns you not to overstay your welcome, listen for the harmony, not the melody, and that’s all there is to divining. Put the song back together splendidly to compensate for the shattered prayer it once was. Both Boulanger sisters wrote unfinished operas about princesses poised to inherit the whole ruined place. The kings and queens went insane with their own unlikelihood. I thought I was seeing the semi-circular wing of a moth orchid on the ground, but when I touched it—gummy and a little hairy—I realized it was a disposable electrode. There’s something to be said here about the visible world, about devices that look like flowers that look like insects that look into the abdomens of sick people, but how boring to open this up and let out an epiphany. All the hospital beds are pointed feet-first at televisions playing the same story. Tell me about your family history, they ask. All I can hear is my mother’s voice, soft as the ringback you hear while waiting for someone to pick up the phone, that gentle tremolo of major thirds: B♭, D / B♭, D / B♭, D That man they found hanging in the attic, she says, wasn’t my father. He was just some guy. He could’ve been anyone. The bloodline isn’t a strung bow; it doesn’t tense up when you pull it toward you. It’s a sewing circle without thread: punctured, punctured, unfixed. The body isn’t so precious of a metal as you might think. But be careful. Some of its edges are sharp where the old soul calved away. —<a href="https://waqueeranth.omeka.net/items/show/653" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Patrick Milian (he/him)</a> Content Warnings Warnings about any potentially harmful or triggering content present in the text. death suicide or self-harm (including ideation) family trauma or domestic violence illness mental health Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

While most of his work remains unshared, you can find snippets on Tumblr as alanalytical. When he's not writing or reading, you can find him on LinkedIn under the same username.

Poem Contains text information about individual contributors to the anthology. Text Any textual data included in the document But for her, I am only disappearing here. Cotton wads or sugar cubes bought specially, for if I see her again and she wants some. The novelty, the invention. Actually, the years collapse and research is only so much distance, I’m only assuming they existed. A luxury perhaps, or something the vet carried. It actually wasn’t until 1937 or 1923 or later in the 1800s I guess, I don’t know what past I’m aiming for. To be useful to her, to have a thought in her care. Maybe it’s a timeless kind of longing. The vet more important than a doctor, till an accident I suppose, till children and it’s whatever the men say, I keep to myself. I feel they feel I should understand what he’s doing but I’m something secretly unwomanlike, when he calls I feel outside and left-footed. Somewhere else lingers on me too. Elsewise everyone with rapid hands and matter-of-fact barns, they settle and settle and carry nothing with them, carry their ways as if they are the world. They’re raising further up the valley, they’re clearing and calling, flour and cattle in hand. I stand blousy in my cotton trousers and sweat from my nose. The heat only awkwardly on me and the cold much the same. We are some the same, I’d say to her. Standing a little taller, look up into my face. And here, take what you want. Yes it’s true. My unknowing limbs. I don’t know what the vet needs or when to call for him. Who would I have sent word with, who can step like kin across my door. I’d rather sink under history, my living beneath scrutiny, who could know what to do with kitchens and beds. I call no one to supper, my bread stays flat in my hand. —<a href="https://waqueeranth.omeka.net/items/show/631" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Clare Johnson</a> Earlier versions of Unnamed and Unwomanlike were published together as part of "I Imagine I Come From Somewhere" in quiet Shorts Vol. I, Issue 4, Winter 2011.

Poem Contains text information about individual contributors to the anthology. Text Any textual data included in the document In that time a father just shifts, or maybe it’s mothers, or who knows anyone really. He teaches you some and holding an axe, before he peels away too, before the woods always belonged to someone and you have to look for work. It’s in the woods when you can and otherwise the fruit, get a little more if you set the ladders. You’re a slight stub when someone calls you a man but you thought you had so much growing before that. Or it’s just a fact, passed around from house to house. He’s only gone for poaching or some new woman. I’m not sure there’s such a thing as childhood then. He’s not your father quite just like a man knew your ma. You could set together some or learn a garden, you would work in the fruit and then a little bigger in the woods or selling, maybe it’s my imagination failing, maybe you laugh like a kid anyway and your garden pays for the school clothes is just oh that’s just how it was. Who pays for the house, or are you moving place to place still. The other men just men but you lower your lashes a breath, just so, I want the houses to empty as you grow, relations blankly peeled off in the woods. You blessedly beneath anyone’s notice. That father quick before he moved on, or your mother even, easy this one time as there’s no futures to worry, soon nothing shared. He’s setting a moment soon to thump the door, soon to grow you up that slow inch more. He’d pinch you off by habit but for leaving. There’s no reason to get real close. This is how I’m going to give you a future near impossible, a natural neglect that lets you bolt, you flower. Say that father never named it, maybe he says uncaring a little laugh, you’re the only one I ever seen. Be damned, laughing easing this one time, if you aren’t the only one I knew. Hold my future breath and wandering him carelessly out the door and bolt that door too. Later and looking over your shoulder a little but why not with another man, you find some words for each other later. When you are really grown, when this other flowered man asks somehow and puts his hand right there, just so. —<a href="https://waqueeranth.omeka.net/items/show/631" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Clare Johnson</a> Earlier versions of Unnamed and Unwomanlike were published together as part of "I Imagine I Come From Somewhere" in quiet Shorts Vol. I, Issue 4, Winter 2011.

Poem Contains text information about individual contributors to the anthology. Text Any textual data included in the document To the little boy who unabashedly loved The Little Mermaid, one day you will find your safe people. To the kid who changed schools four times before the age of 10, one day you will find your safe people. Slowly but surely the safe people will start to appear, teaching you that your identity is nothing to fear. To the tenderhearted teenager tormented by the tenets of toxic masculinity, one day you will find your safe people. To the closeted college student made to feel it’d be better if he no longer existed, one day you will find your safe people. Safe people teach you that you are worthy, purely because you exist, safe people teach you how to fight for yourself, teach you how to resist. To the perfectionist social worker battling his own undiagnosed anxiety, one day you will find your safe people. To the young adult imprisoned by internalized homophobia and religious trauma, one day you will find your safe people. Safe people will flock to the truest version you share, safe people will listen with empathy and go out of their way to show how much they care. To the guy in his mid-20s abandoned by his community after openly expressing his queerness, one day you will find your safe people. To the 30 year old man ashamed of the body he sees in the mirror, one day you will find your safe people. Safe people empower you to break out of your comfort zone and grow, safe people are in your corner for both the highs and the lows. To the author of this poem, take a deep breath and exhale now, Your beautiful collection of safe people has finally been found. —<a href="https://waqueeranth.omeka.net/items/show/615" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Jeff D'Angelo (he/him)</a> Content Warnings Warnings about any potentially harmful or triggering content present in the text. mental health lack of acceptance Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Poem Contains text information about individual contributors to the anthology. Text Any textual data included in the document Forgive me, I wanted some company. You worry I will veil myself in filmed garments from the back of my childhood drawers, the stuff of dreams — my dreams. I make you a promise, that line about history: History won't repeat itself, but it might rhyme. You love me, so you don't puncture my flimsy logic that treats the past as a blueprint for the present as the future remains unscathed and new. I know it, so I guide you to the table, pads pressed to your budding blades, my rosy guest of honor. We heard this chapter would rewind our years, re-peach our perimeters, bristle our masks. Yes, and. As I ripen, a former self inside me rudely ashes. Can I cradle myself both in Becoming and Ending while weaving you into the flamestitch of my family? My best stories, I've told you once, a thousand times. So you know. You know the milk, wine, and honey is milk, wine, and honey but sometimes it precedes a Slaughter. Still, we dine, gorging on pretense: the wayward 'daughter' and her hard-angled lover. In my bedroom, I mime her, that ashen girl inside of me. Trace the periphery of need. Limbo my fingers near your thighs hot as Helios, burned-up as Hades. Then gift you my archives, soft and unburied. Your hands move mine through an impassable gate. Rhyming my past with such slant, skilled revisions. —<a href="https://waqueeranth.omeka.net/items/show/607" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Britt Clair</a> Content Warnings Warnings about any potentially harmful or triggering content present in the text. sensuality alcohol Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
