A black and white illustration of three people sitting inside a bus, with one woman on the left with curly hair, a man in the middle with a serious expression, and an older man on the right with white hair.

This print was inspired by an excerpt from the poem, “Glitter In My Wounds” by CAConrad.

“Heterosexuals need to see our suffering

the violet deaths of our friends and lovers

to know glitter on a queer is not to dazzle but to

unsettle the foundation of this murderous culture

defiant weeds smashing up through cement

you think Oscar Wilde was funny

well Darling I think he was busy

distracting straight people

so they would not kill him”
