“I am coming undone. I am losing who I am, or rather, who I once was. I am vanishing before my very eyes. I am the lost child, who will never return as I was, if I ever return at all. Changeling… changeling… that is what the wind calls me.”

–Cherry Wine by B. Allen

“I do not regret what I have done. I have no remorse. I am not looking for redemption, though Men of the Lord may say otherwise. What would I need of the sons of Adam? What would I need of the mercy of God? I am a god unto
myself. I am Lilith, Lord of Lesbians, Patron Saint of Dykes
.”

– Forbidden Fruit by B. Allen

I was born atop a mountain of ash and ice… When I was ready to leave home, I sliced through the rocks and the dirt. I carved a path through woods and desert, creating the world around me, like a painter with his brush. I whittled channels. I sculpted plateaus…Once, I could run faster than a mustang’s hooves, faster than an eagle’s wings, faster than the wind rippling my surface. Once, I was a running river.

Now all I can do is crawl.

–Run, River, Run by B. Allen
