Yes, here's how to start a book ⚡⚡

@sophiadahlin.bsky.social GLOVE MONEY (Nightboat Books)

I need money to buy gloves
so that I never need again to touch it, money. I need gloves to separate my hands from dollars. Also from other hands when they hand me money, handling others' money, others' hands, disgusting. And cold, or hot, and lotion. To regulate mine own hands' temperatures, gloves. To buy them, money.

(Line breaks too long to indicate accurately here)

Also happy to share that the gorgeous cover, a Kit Schluter design featuring a gorgeous painting by Emily Harter, has been censored for “adult content” by bluesky. Click if you dare!

I give up my lizard

yeah
go find heat buddy

I live in a bank
it’s all like “water” I’m like “ca$h”
dammit $$$ so I don’t sun
nor are there rocks to be upon

I have bosses
have bosses have

pulled through by noses

I’m a dry fish is how I met the lizard
yes lizard in the day’s heat
pulsed and shone
