Black and white shadowed photo of a person's skin flecked with droplets of water. Black text on a light grey background reads, 'my boyhood has really kicked in; / crab apple blooms on testosterone / skin. i find my dermis punctured, / bruised with man’s becoming. 'One Month On T’ by River Snowdrop.’

i am twenty-nine 
and sewing a fresh lining,
buying flowers for the living
room table

i am twenty-nine
winding the soft cable of my
body into fluid contortions,
all forms available

my altered shape born

I am a victim of child-on-child sexual abuse
Every time I try to write this, a curl of smoke snakes its way up my throat and snatches the words from me.

My poem, ‘THE SEVENTH DAY’, published in Issue 10 of Last Leaves Magazine www.lastleavesmag.com/last-leaves-...
THE SEVENTH DAY
River Snowdrop

forgive me father the sharpened
razor nicks one's face on the clock's
twelve phases knocking like a hymn
at the catholic churches threading
through time so that your trauma purses
tight lips forward into my eleven body
breathing sorry down hollow landline
ten strikes this shrine attacked by the 
breeze //
  a sure thing, boar-bated, animal sob

  releasing silence into the cracked spine of
your parenthood / weight understood, 
  undertaken; hope you choke on that

shackled knees to iron vine the 
nine-life cursed to always bend 
what holy friend shakes out nothing
rage-hated figure eight string of ire 
damned i love this god and fire! spittle 
spews across millennium space on the 
seventh day i come to wrath speak
six six six and call it off control the
five four three two vials // 
  poison chalice, poison child

New poem published, thank you @authorlowenoaks.bsky.social www.lavendwritermagazine.com/the-jar-rive...
The Jar

River Snowdrop

  sorrow
is an open-mouthed sigh
and the bile in the back
of your throat
  it is spit
on the pavement. the
veiled estrangementbetween before the thing
and after; now
grief is a growl
  sharp and biting. it is the
threat of tears, it is the tears
themselves, it is a ripping
  loss
is a chipped tooth in a jar,
and the space in the gum,
a tongue eternally checking
to see if it’s still
  gone

“Grandad”, a painting by me, acrylic on canvas.
A painting by River Snowdrop. There is an orange-brown sky with faint white clouds, that fades into dark green landscape. To the left of the painting, there are two small figures in silhouette, looking up at the vastness of the world.A zoomed in version on the details of the first painting.

I turn 30 tomorrow and I’m not flirty or thriving ✨ Here is a poem first published with Ouch! Collective, which hints at why:
Poem in black text on white background, titled “ENBY OF ONE”.

Body of poem reads:
  tired poster, gender poser,
museum exhibit, thing.
  interesting cultural link
to liberal thinkpieces,
  sexual deviant, fraud.
entirely bored of the
  performance, shadow
self, coverture. enduring
  lie. jealous jade eye,
femme sigh, not me though.
  wishing for freedom,
don’t you just package it
  nicely, politely, well-
mannered transgender,
  token friend, girl.
