If Humans Had Taglines, This Would Be Mine

---

If humans had taglines, what would yours be?

Mine would have to be one of these:

You can take the nature out the boy, but you can’t take the man out of nature

Even when I’m knee-deep in ink and altar smoke, my roots are still hiking trails, crinoid fossils, and the hum of wind through stone.

Poetry is resistance when you write like Poeaxtry

Every line is protest, prayer, and proof that I’m still here trans, loud, witchy, and unerasable.

My gender is wilderness: untamed, honest, and thriving in the dark

I wasn’t made to be trimmed down into a label. I’m a forest fire and a bloom, both.

Spell bags in one hand, survival in the other

I’m a living altar: grief and grit, ritual and rage, healing and hustle.

Former silence, current storm

I used to swallow it all. Now I speak, write, scream, and conjure without shame.

Born from shadow work, built to shine

The ghosts that haunt me taught me how to live.

Soft things with teeth

Gentleness doesn’t mean weakness. I know how to bite back if I have to.

Can write you a love poem, hex your ex, and hike a mountain before lunch

I’m not a contradiction, I’m a constellation.

But honestly, I can’t be wrapped up in just one line. I’m too many things. Too full of lives survived, of magic made, of poems burned and rewritten.

So if I had to choose?

Unapologetic trans man. Poet witch. Rock hunter. Truth-teller. Born to be wild… not just free. And always me!
