Im Zi! Im a black, disabled lesbian, & a full time artist! I am trying to heal & live on my own.

I want my main source of income to be from my art! But I cannot currently afford to support my art career due to survival needs (I cant make prints or buy new brushes).

ANYTHING helps!

I am standing in front of a wooden panel wall. I am wearing a black cardigan and black overalls but the black overalls are blacker than the black cardigan. They are two different blacks. And honestly in this picture of the black cardigan sort of gives off brown. The black overalls have tie straps and has white, purple, and green paint strokes, splotches, and dots on the front chest part. My thumbs are hooked into the sides of the overalls bringing them to the front so that it shows a side boob lol. I am looking at the camera wearing minimal make up, my black rimmed glasses, and my medium too large size Afro. My curl pattern looks incredible though!

I wrote a poem.
Recorded it.
Made a video. This is the only footage that was „suitable for work“.

Love is not patient tonight.
Love is pacing.
Love is teeth against tongue, holding still just long enough
to watch you forget your name.

Love is not kind.
Love drags its nails down your spine,
counting each vertebrae like rosary beads.
Whispering devotion into the soft place behind your knee.

I don’t want to be a cymbal.
I want to be the ache you remember
when you’re folding laundry three days from now
and drop a pair of your own underwear
because your fingers remembered what I did to your thighs.

wearenothereatall.bsky.social @wearenothereatall.bsky.social · Jul 2

I don’t want to move mountains.
I want to pin you beneath one.
Call it faith.
Call it worship.
Call it a safeword wrapped in satin.

If I burn—
let it be because you lit me.
If I give myself up—
let it be to the rope, the grip, the gasp you make when my hand finds your throat
but never your no.

wearenothereatall.bsky.social @wearenothereatall.bsky.social · Jul 2

Love rejoices in the truth.
And the truth is:
you were made for altars,
not promises.

And I have prayed enough tonight.

wearenothereatall.bsky.social @wearenothereatall.bsky.social · Jul 2

If I give my body to be broken
but cannot bear your refusal—
if I demand and do not offer,
if I touch without worship—
then I have not loved.
I have only taken.

wearenothereatall.bsky.social @wearenothereatall.bsky.social · Jul 2

Love is not kind.
Not in this room.
Love is cruel with intention.
Love marks and unmakes.
Love unbuttons shame and drinks it from the floor.

It’s a little unnerving how beautiful you are. Wars were fought over less. But your songs would’ve ended them—and none of them had your wit, your brushstrokes. Or your cool shirts.

Personally I am unfamiliar with any legitimate activity that requires switching license plates, which by the way is illegal.

“The Shape of Her Becoming”
for the ones who carry creation like a curse they cannot abandon

I watched her work like someone summoning gods
older than names.
Her fingers moved as if binding the air itself—
weaving breath and pigment into covenant.

The light bent toward her,
like it too was caught in her gravity.
Like it remembered her from somewhere
before the first sunrise
when the world was still learning how to exist.

I did not speak.
Speech felt profane in the presence of ritual.
There are ceremonies you observe from the threshold,
or not at all.
To cross closer would have been
to trespass against something holy.

She was not making art.
She was remembering how to survive.
Dragging beauty out of her own marrow,
and laying it bare like an offering
to gods who no longer answer.

I stayed still.
Not for fear of rejection—
but for fear of interfering with the shape of her becoming.
To bear witness was enough.
To see was its own wound.

Time has not lessened the growth of longing.
It has only taught it new roots.
Deeper.
Quieter.
Curling beneath the skin like vines that refuse to die,
even when the tree above is gone.
I do not starve for what was.
I starve for what still lives beneath the absence.

They had become a home.
Not walls, but shelter.
Not roof, but refuge.
The kind of place built in breath and fingertips,
in whispered names and shared silences.
I do not know how to carry a house
once the light inside has gone out.
I only know the shape of absence
and the echo of locked doors

The child inside me speaks sometimes
in the stillness of my mind.
Not of want,
but of remembering.
Of what was carried.
Of what was lost without knowing.
Of small hands that once reached for light
before they knew the names of shadows
