Could dot-to-dot the consonants that construct your harsh-angry-hate and make of them a petal, bloomed. Could take the condemnations, the indignations dissolve them into sheer potential of hope.

Anonymous asked: Do you plan to put your prose somewhere? On tumblr, perhaps? Or have you already published? I'm very interested in reading your prose! Oh, and you are fabulous, but I'm sure you already knew that.
