I Hear This In My Dreams

was gonna save this for pride month (i was probs an editor in my past life)

Feelin like a good time to dig this one up from 2022, Alexandra Billings for Human Rights Campaign.

we're

not

going

anywhere

say you're fifteen and you see a swordsman dancing on a roof with a red ribbon, and you did not understand beauty until that moment. say you meet him near a waterfall and you spar together, half-friend, half-foe. entirely something else. you've wanted before, wanted to survive, to eat, to kill, to be stronger than anyone else. when you look at him, you want to win a different kind of war, one you have no experience in, one he has all he tools and medals for. you see him with different lovers hand in hand. you steal into his bedroom in the dark of the night. the two of you write a peace treaty together. during a storm he comes howling vengeance for a crime you did not commit, tears in his eyes. you kill each other.

say you never find him again. you find a man who wears his face, a man you think is him. he takes you home in red robes. you hold his hand while he wears silver and burgundy. the two of you drink together in a wedding chamber with a bright moon. you find a way to save him, you turn your back, and you never see him again. he does not show up to the memorial. the absence is the point and everything you love has slipped out of your hands before you knew it was gone. he won this type of war, you realise, standing there on that desolate beach, waiting for a ghost.

“A girl sleeping in a hospital bed in her A.F. Vandevorst dress. But here, the girl as well as the mattress and pillow are made out of candle wax. Once lit, what starts as a perfect image will slowly melt and perish during the biennale.”

"So please, hurry, leave me, I can't breathe. Please don't say you love me"
