Short story in Capricious!
I have a short story called ‘Glitter and Leaf Litter’ coming out in the Gender Diverse Pronouns issue of Capricious! SO HAPPY!
It’s a story of two enby teenagers who have sleepovers in an abandoned mansion and the ghostly friends they meet along the way. The story uses they/them pronouns and has: #friendshipgoals, cuddles and spooning, glitter, whimsy, and poetic descriptions. ❤

Poem: Reaction(ary)
Reaction(ary)
I came out to fanfare and
distaste. As they gripped
my hands and said I was
brave, I watched you roll
the word inside your mouth:
testing it with your tongue
like the pit of a sour plum
you didn’t want to swallow.
This poem was first published in Bi-Focus issue #2, which you can buy here.
Poem: Her Wedding Ring
Her Wedding Ring
I clench my muscles.
With squelch and grunt
it clangs,
circling into the bowl.
Crouching on cool bathroom
tiles, I dip my arm into dull
yellow water, hold it in my hand
for a moment, remember
your fingers slipping and curling
into me. I towel off the ring
and place it in an envelope,
which I leave in your letterbox.
An hour later your texts: HE KNOWS
HE FUCKING KNOWS
and I imagine your fingers
sliding against the tears
that splatter your phone screen.
This poem was first published in Woolf Pack issue #7. You can buy the issue here.
