I'm getting a tattoo today, which is a lot of pain for a lot of beauty at the end of it and then that made me think about the poetry editing process which is similar, and then I thought that it's TWO MONTHS EXACTLY since my debut came out, which you can buy at this link❤️ share.google/unJW7opFecm3...

Gospels for the Tongue-Tied lives within and without the projects of gender and religion in an attempt to carve out a space for the self. @iamgoingtocry.bsky.social
Gospels For the Tongue-Tied
Qetsi'ah Baggott-Joachim

cover: 
A beetle separated and reduced to its external anatomical components is rendered in a glowing light orange on a background of rich dark reddish brown. Text reading "GOSPELS FOR THE TONGUE-TIED" AND "QETSIAH JOACHIM-BAGGOT" appear at the top and bottom respectively in the same orange.


text: 
MAYBE I’M NOT HERE AT ALL

Maybe I’m sitting in a stairwell at Birmingham New Street station
watching all the trains cruise in and out like ferry boats pulled by the ocean
pretending that the departures board above my head is something
that will tell me how to come home to you
again

Maybe now that I have left the concrete city the pigeons
hover above the powerlines looking around as though
they are bricks from the grey buildings in this city blinking
with the anticipatory wonder of a newborn calf fluttering their wings as though
free

Qetsi’ah Joachim-Baggott @iamgoingtocry.bsky.social is a queer disabled poet. Their debut collection, Gospels For The Tongue-Tied, is forthcoming with Kith Books. Read portrait of a broken printer below! manyworlds.place/issue-6/qets...
[editor’s note: the film is incomplete, watch with caution]

the printer is broken
oh no. it only gives me washed out candids of someone
else’s smile.
occasionally some paper bones,
a rotten wisdom tooth hanging from
a flesh thread in a red mouth.
it’s all aquamarine and violet stained, i’ve replaced the
ink seven times now.
my printer keeps crying on my photos.
i think it’s grieving. in the night it
cries itself to sleep. in the morning
there are pictures of [garbled, incoherent] clinging to my
coffee machine.
oh no. i tried to print out an essay yesterday,
but i just got a page of someone asking me to

[editor’s note: the film cuts out here, no footage available for 30s. Don’t turn your screens off]
