(excerpts)
I was bornwith an apology taped
to the roof of my mouth
an apology for this body I
never asked for
- Amy Craig, Apology
When I whill around,
my spoonie friends
wanna know if they can slide in,
so we can all roll deep.
- Maxwell Joy Moore, When I Whill Around
till the pavements widen
and ramps rise to curbs.
Until the lifts work and the sea parts
and my body is no longer a sin to be forgiven.
- Chloë Clarke, Hands are just hands, not antennas to god
outlasted all destruction,
emerge from the dark
with your glittering soul, and rise
- George Hoqqanen, In Praise of Despair
