INSIDE THIS HEART OF MINE

Poems & Spells for Our Survival & Pleasure

Deer Tender Heart,

Poetry has been my life raft again & again, both bringing me to life & helping me bring life to others.  My Fucking Tide: Love & Sex is a collection of poems that have been sitting & rooting since 2012, collecting poem kin along the way.  I picked these specific poems to offer you because I am invoking healing through loving my hard-to-deal-with-parts & the magic that has come to me through good sex.  "What is good sex?" you ask?  The kind that left me wrung out & brimming with words.  Healing & magic & sex & coming back to myself seamlessly blend together for me, & these are pieces of that journey.

I am asking for an energy exchange in sharing this work, a donation of $10, $15, or $20.  This collection holds 10 poems about love & sex & the magic in between.  Please consider gifting yourself or your loves this bundle of femme healing, femme celebration, femme magic.  All proceeds go to keeping me here & alive.

I wrote The Nth Generation of Queer Brown Femmes: an invocation, one of the poems in this collection, while I lived in a magical place called the Baberation.  We were / are a plethora of queer brown femmes who were / are still trying to figure shit out.  One of the things I love(d) about the Baberation was that it was an old nunnery, & I spent many nights talking to the homo angels & queer femme ancestors that still resided in that building.  I wrote this poem during these long conversations with myself & the Femmeiverse because I wanted an invocation of protection to combat what we were surviving & what was still yet to come.  I hope it does something similar for you, deer one.

The Nth Generation of Queer Brown Femmes: an invocation

​sweet strong merciful Femme Ancestors,
we ask for your presence
in our everyday ceremonies & rituals
as we find ways to love & survive,
for your protection & guidance
as we heed our heart’s desires,
& for your help clearing that which doesn't
get the fuck out of our way.
​afemme.

This protection spell is a bonus poem not included in my original collection because it is very new.  I wrote it in response to the fuckery I survive on the daily.  I wrote it to let the Femmeriverse I am having none of it.  I wrote it to send all the cowardly hearts their fucked up energy back.  I wrote it to name what happens to me.  I wrote it as a warning not to do this shit to me, because there will be consequences.  There should be.  You cannot fuck over holy fucking femmes anymore.

to the ones who fuck me over
​& call me dangerous in the same breath:
a protection spell


every stone you threw at this precious femme body hurt. a lot. but not as much as it will when you burn your own shit to the ground & everything beneath your skin comes to a boil. & those lies you threw about with whispers will lay you bare, char & smolder your new shame. good luck with that. this is what happens when you're hasty with a femme witch hunt. you will only have yourselves to blame because you already killed me. & if you ever dare tongue my name to the roof of your blistering mouth, my two syllables will turn again to white hot coals. so don't.

  My Fucking Tide: Love & Sex includes the following poems:
  • ​The Nth Generation of Queer Brown Femmes
  • Don't Fuck With Our Ancestors
  • I Am
  • Today I Will Fall in Love With Myself
  • I Found God in Your Eyeliner
  • Holiness of You
  • Tender Topping
  • After I Topped La Luna in a Pencil Skirt
  • Quench 
  • Tide

To get a pdf copy for yourself, your bestie, your femme crush, your roommate, your queer fam, make sure to note which email I can send this blessed collection of poems to when you make your donation.  Sometimes the Paypal email & people's everyday email that they actually read are not the same, & I just wanna make sure you receive this gift!  Actually, now that I am poking around, I am not sure if you can make a note, but if you would like the poems sent to an email other than the one listed in your Paypal info, please send me another email to highmoonfemme@gmail.com telling me where to send it.  lol I hope this hasn't just become confusing.  Either way, you will get your poems!

All my love in the meantime,
​Dacia (Lettie)
