morning spilling through your earrings. shame pouring from my feet
to my guts
every time i say your name.
night on the bus after death.
night on the bus
after trying to tell i love you
but i never come through.
burning sores on my hands on my throat.
i wanted to be home.
i wanted to be brave.
Milton (he/she) is an Italian poet and storyteller. He's currently a student in modern and contemporary literature, as well as deeply involved in her city's queer and transfeminist radical movements. In his poems, he likes to explore gender, queerness and the feeling of shame, and greatly enjoys using arson as a metaphor. She can be found on Instagram at @asdogsdo.
