Siren.

A poem.

Open Heart Surgery is a newsletter devoted to exploring metamorphosis, unravelling, questioning and healing. I write essays and poems in service to personal and collective liberation - the personal, political, social, cultural and spiritual realms are all present here. This is a space for divergent thinking and open hearts.

I’m flirting with my friends,
help - 
Desire is a wildfire
spreading,
this energy is wide,
the mouth of a tiger,
swallowing me whole.
It wants liberation.
Enough containment.
Enough self-restraint,
Enough holding it all in.
This fire is raging,
I am a siren.
Weren’t bodies made
for pleasure? 

A collection/curation of poetry On Love is coming to you next week.
