i get two candles
give them names
separate each into bowls of water
tie a red string around their ribs
& set them alight' -Yung Hegelian

“I stopped dressing for the male gaze, I say. I stopped dressing for Fermi’s, says the alien. They are suddenly breasted, or I am suddenly noticing. My own chest deflates. We walk to the beach at night and plant my dog’s baby teeth” -quinn rennerfeldt fairchild 🏳️🌈 bit.ly/3ESNkoG
We love these three little pieces about an alien by quinn rennerfeldt fairchild 🏳️🌈 in A Velvet Giant. Each one blends sci-fi and surrealism, straddling the border between everyday events and dream logic. Anything can happen at any moment in these, and it's delightful.
