“May Taga find your spirit and guide you home
to the sea beyond.
In clear water
where danger will never catch you.
Among the coral and caves
where the bounty is full.
Alongside your ancestors
and their ancestors
that loneliness never hold you.
His kingdom your own
beloved child of the gods.”
― Makiia Lucier, Dragonfruit

“I hope that the foolish things we do when we're sixteen, seventeen, twenty, whenever - I hope they don't define who we are forever.”

“I exist as either a small canid with thick fur, pointed ears, and neat black feet, or a young woman. Neither are safe forms in a world run by men.”
