And now nothing will grow here. Not even grass. Every seed in the Earth spits back out yellow and hard as bones or black as bruises. Every tuber and root sinks into the soil tight as dogs’ jaws and doesn’t come up. The soil is wounded and abused and unwelcome. So nobody plants.

how life creeps behind
call it a prank."

"if you throw the first brick
I promise I'll be the second one down range"
- Mercy Rei Tanq, Guillotine Talk
@grrlphag.bsky.social

engenderedlitmag.com/summer2025
I am tired of the guillotine talk With no guillotine walk But I am partial to the wood-chipper chatter Every tragedy produces comedy faster than any amount of empathy And all your viral firestorm memes and hottest French revolution takes do is show them what you’ll never actually attempt You know you can’t defeat a hydra with a guillotine, right? But if you throw the first brick I promise I'll be the second one down range Let the tanks roll in Draw out the worst of the ire Those battle tested can take some fire We are mighty We are legion We are fighting To do more than just survive Mercy Rei Tanq, Guillotine Talk engenderedlitmag.com
