welcome🌿 reading🌿 my poem 🌿 a quote 🌿 what i'm reading
i'm leaf and i'm an indigiqueer ecologist! my pronouns are they/them. i am english, ponca, irish, and diné. i like plants and made them my entire personality.
i'm a grad student studying indigenous eco-cultural restoration. i also dabble in indigiqueer literatures and futurisms.
myself across space, the vastness of these roots
fabric of flowers and leaves, these thousand made
a thorough ancestry, in and of medicine
native to this place, emergence
an origin of spirit, grounded towards us
i smelllooktaste ofstrength ofpower
a bleeding that comes and goes
myself as seed,
static and evolving
i am movement i am everytruething
"i want to ask how botanical worlds might have been otherwise and how we might access these histories for the future."— banu subramaniam, botany of empire
