Me As A Queer Emo Kid Who Thinks Of Their Very Catholic Birth Name As A Dead Name - Blog Posts

Screenshot of a poem. Text reads: You told your disciples, yes— but did you tell your parents? Did you sit them down at a table, try not to let it get awkward, try to get it over with. "Mom, Dad, I'm — going to die." How long was the silence? Did Mary wrap her arms around you like you were a child, like she hadn't much since you'd gone away, with all the force of the tears she'd save for after you left again? Or did they cry then and ask what they'd done wrong, and did you reassure them, "it's just a few days, and then I'll be better than before," "I'm not the first to do this—you've met Lazarus, right?" Did you wonder if they already knew, if they'd seen the signs in the myrrh, in every screaming crowd, in the way you watched Joseph drive nails into wood? Did they ask you how long you'd known, and did you know how to say forever?
