Brothers, you have the mighty oak in your spine and the morning sunin your chest.Sing to me with a lion underneath your tongue;give me your soft purrand your thundering roar.You go down like a smooth whiskey warming my bodywith a deepslow burn.I’ll put my pot on your stoveand let you bring me downto a slow simmerso I know just…
summer solstice
Summer. You sweaty, sexy beast. You are a long, slow exhale with crimson sunsets on your breath. Tell me stories by the campfire under sparkling night skies while I lick blackberry jam from my fingers and the fireflies hold council in the meadow. Your expansive landscape lets me stretch my quivering tendrils wide intoxicating my…
pleasure
A dear sister recently invited me to embark on a daily pleasure practice, and it has resulted in a deep dive exploration of my relationship with pleasure. We often think of pleasure as relating to sexuality and decadence, and while pleasure IS rather sexy, it’s not just about sex and extravagance. What if pleasure could…
healing in relationship
We were never meant to do any of this alone. Not our joy, our grief, our rage, our deepest expression of love. We weren’t meant to try and process our personal and collective pain and trauma on our own. We are not supposed to live without touch, without gazing into each other’s eyes, without the…

Sisters, you have diamonds between your teeth and spices underneath your tongue. You make love to the air you breathe when you exhale your truth through red lips smeared with honey. Your blood runs in shades of purple velvet and saffron sunsets. You are both a thunderstorm and clear blue skies an unpredictable force with…
inner child

safe space
Reclaiming this body as safe space. It will not house the legacies of silence and oppression that came before me. There is no room for the cruelty of my mind to prey on my body. I will tend this fire in my belly. I will speak with my serpent tongue. You will know the flavor…
