Map Making
By Hillary Gonzalez, excerpt from Seasons
My mind drifts to
the supple curve of your spine, the pulse beating steadily
in your throat.
I long to trace the parts
of your skin I have
savored with my lips and tongue,
like the map maker
drawing the lay of the land.

ICONIC: Yosemite National Park workers just hung an upside-down American flag—THOUSANDS of feet up on El Capitan. That’s not decoration. That’s a distress signal. They’re telling us the country is in danger. Are you paying attention?

All of you need to understand something fundamental about the EO declaring people with, Autism, ADHD, asthma, autoimmune diseases, and chronic illness, as “a threat to the American people and our way of life.” This is eugenics, and they’re trying to dehumanize us. Don’t let them.

The mulberry tree, hanging heavy with
Purple and red berries, does not
Ask the bird, “what can you do for me,”
Before allowing the birds to eat its berries.
I endeavor to be more like
The mulberry tree, and I hope you’ll join me.

I am officially on #Substack, and it’s only fitting that my first post is on community building and lessons from The LotR. It’s free to read.

So, I built my poetry platform on Instagram. Ever since the new policies were put in place, suddenly I’m getting next to zero engagement. I post bi sapphic poems, which previously went viral every time I shared them. You can’t convince me they’re not suppressing queer content. 🙃

When I was a Hill staffer in 2009, a Dem trifecta was trying to pass universal healthcare. In response, Senate GOP released a memo detailing all of the tactics they in the minority could use to delay the effort as much as possible. I'm recirculating that 2009 GOP memo here. Take inspiration from it.

Don’t say you’d die for me.
Say that even when
flowers bloom and moss
covers your skeleton,
that has turned brown with age,
your bones will one day
be discovered with my name
tattooed across them.

Birders will understand this dilemma:
Getting a rare bird notification that a Golden Eagle has been sighted 3+ hours away, and wishing you didn’t have to work, so you could drop everything to go see it 😭

My legs wrapped around
You in bed
Isn’t close enough.
I need you to devour me.
Take my flesh into yours.
Grind my bones and
Paint your skin
With my ashes.
From the summer chapter of my debut poetry collection, Seasons. Looking for the folks who enjoy smutty poetry 😏

Looking for poets on here. If you’re a poet, chime in. Do you have a collection out? Are you working on one?

Bad Bunny’s new album is incredible. I love that he heard, “there’s a language barrier with your music,” and said I DON’T CARE. I hope the album also sparks conversations about visiting beautiful places & NOT treating the land & people disrespectfully.

Welp. I guess I better start using this app more, since Meta announced it’s getting rid of fact checking. I’m Hillary, a poet & author based out of Baltimore, MD. I have one collection, Seasons, currently available, and a new collection coming in 2026.
