    Charlotte Eriksson
    “I am not a Sunday morning inside four walls
    with clean blood
    and organized drawers.
    I am the hurricane setting fire to the forests
    at night when no one else is alive
    or awake
    however you choose to see it
    and I live in my own flames
    sometimes burning too bright and too wild
    to make things last
    or handle
    myself or anyone else
    and so I run.

    and it feels good.
    Hear that people? It feels good
    because I am the slave and ruler of my own body
    and I wish to do with it exactly as I please”
