"GLINT\n\nby Mateo Larafor my Queer communitystoke disgrace out of a smoke-filled roomsay this boy is a husk of a boy, not a boyis jewel            is juniper berry           is crushed        into wet.listen, they describe the room: a no-nothing pulsing with divisionthere is you     &         there is ushunters                        &         monsters         lingering, promising these empty fields will emerge with bloom.come along into ramshackle house filled with spidersdividing with wings and websstroking sharp knife across a tear-streaked cheek, glinting they break the boy downfracture his ribsanother ‘not a boy’ for sacrificethey say the violence will make sense in the future   but the boy who is not a boy isnot white         not yet                        not       ripe.there is only tension   flame   between a crack in the surface   made way        for a broken promisea relapse          a tremor           in         an        aching              throat.back to University & College Poetry Prizes"
