Black and white shadowed photo of a person's skin flecked with droplets of water. Black text on a light grey background reads, 'my boyhood has really kicked in; / crab apple blooms on testosterone / skin. i find my dermis punctured, / bruised with man’s becoming. 'One Month On T’ by River Snowdrop.’

My poem, ‘THE SEVENTH DAY’, published in Issue 10 of Last Leaves Magazine

www.lastleavesmag.com/last-leaves-...
THE SEVENTH DAY River Snowdrop forgive me father the sharpened razor nicks one's face on the clock's twelve phases knocking like a hymn at the catholic churches threading through time so that your trauma purses tight lips forward into my eleven body breathing sorry down hollow landline ten strikes this shrine attacked by the breeze // a sure thing, boar-bated, animal sob releasing silence into the cracked spine of your parenthood / weight understood, undertaken; hope you choke on that shackled knees to iron vine the nine-life cursed to always bend what holy friend shakes out nothing rage-hated figure eight string of ire damned i love this god and fire! spittle spews across millennium space on the seventh day i come to wrath speak six six six and call it off control the five four three two vials // poison chalice, poison child

New poem published, thank you @authorlowenoaks.bsky.social

www.lavendwritermagazine.com/the-jar-rive...
The Jar River Snowdrop sorrow is an open-mouthed sigh and the bile in the back of your throat it is spit on the pavement. the veiled estrangement between before the thing and after; now grief is a growl sharp and biting. it is the threat of tears, it is the tears themselves, it is a ripping loss is a chipped tooth in a jar, and the space in the gum, a tongue eternally checking to see if it’s still gone

“Grandad”, a painting by me, acrylic on canvas.
A painting by River Snowdrop. There is an orange-brown sky with faint white clouds, that fades into dark green landscape. To the left of the painting, there are two small figures in silhouette, looking up at the vastness of the world. A zoomed in version on the details of the first painting.

so incredibly over the self I cultivated for other people

I turn 30 tomorrow and I’m not flirty or thriving ✨ Here is a poem first published with Ouch! Collective, which hints at why:
Poem in black text on white background, titled “ENBY OF ONE”. Body of poem reads: tired poster, gender poser, museum exhibit, thing. interesting cultural link to liberal thinkpieces, sexual deviant, fraud. entirely bored of the performance, shadow self, coverture. enduring lie. jealous jade eye, femme sigh, not me though. wishing for freedom, don’t you just package it nicely, politely, well- mannered transgender, token friend, girl.
