Earth Bodies: Poetry Workshop: Queer, Trans & Nonbinary People of Color

When being a body, being in a body, is too hard.

We can:

• Channel the Earth (elements, plants animals)

• We can remember we are the earth (ginger = stomach ; sliced tomatoes = chambers of the heart ; grapes = avieli of the lungs)

• We can become the best qualities of the earth (slowness of snails, manatees, turtles ; steady authenticity of water)

• We can can rage with the earth

Especially as queer, trans an nonbinary people. We know the earth is ours. That we are each other.

However you want to, there is a place for you to write.
