lyrics

Dedication

O’s (they/them or she/her) story comes out of a network. Their smallest start branches out of a series in The Lyme Letters that sort through nonbinary, queer, crip, and femme experiences in Biblical master narratives across Judeo-Christian texts. First and foremost, then, this start comes out of the unnamed, “marked ungrievable” spouse of the prophet Ezekiel, who inspired the character O.

It is also, though, possible because of the trans and nonbinary folx in our queer communities that have relentlessly fought and died for visibility and safety. This starting point and the subsequent branches of O’s poems are only possible because of you who are both living now and haunting the now. This project is dedicated to you.
