3 Glove Money, @sophiadahlin.bsky.social: This beautiful book of witty sapphic lyrics is truly guided and possessed by the goddess. Its aim is just, its hand [glove?] is true. Also an actual good time, which has, ahem, not been the prevailing mood of poetry for a while.

I need money to buy gloves 
so that I never need again to touch it, money. I need gloves to separate my hands from dollars. Also from other hands when they hand me money, handling others' money, others' hands, disgusting. And cold, or hot, and lotion. To regulate mine own hands' temperatures, gloves. To buy them, money.

I give up my lizard

yeah
go find heat buddy

I live in a bank
it’s all like β€œwater” I’m like β€œca$h”
dammit $$$ so I don’t sun
nor are there rocks to be upon

I have bosses
have bosses have

pulled through by noses

I’m a dry fish is how I met the lizard
yes lizard in the day’s heat
pulsed and shone
