You don’t have to prop
me up. Let your gaze be my
handrail for this ride.
Eye & I
Let me wrap myself
up. Conceal myself up in
your womb irises.
You don’t have to prop
me up. Let your gaze be my
handrail for this ride.
To be honest, yes
I want to sow narcissus
among irises
to tout my own horn.
Cause apples sustain you. I’ll
work, lend me your eyes.
Dote with the dot. I’ll
sow them, ladybird them to
my polka dot dress
a few ego short.

Émilie Galindo (she/her) is trying to come up with a bio that doesn’t mention TV characters. She’s always loved stories. In any form. But she particularly remembers the satisfaction she felt when reading a perfectly calibrated sentence. How no images could convey what the combination of words expressed. And how even she could easily try with the little means she had.
