ADULT GROCERIES 

---

Billy Branca grew up in the southernmost reaches of Appalachia. They completed their schooling at the University of North Georgia, and the University of South Florida, and now live in St. Pete, Florida. They have a soft spot for all things wild, and as such, their work focuses on their own Queer, Southern life. ︎

01.  The Road Stop


At a Miami roadstop,
we slip into the back seat

soccer shorts pulled
away from you, I kneel

I make it slow
because I savor you—

the feast of your hips,
your soft and humid bush,
your sneakers still laced,
pitched up into the roof
of my cramped sedan

02.   The Butch


steel-hard androgyne,
wicked and lovely

so sharp at your edges,
you split me open

the blade of your hip,
your tongue, your
rocking mound, pressing
against me, your fingers,
splitting me open,
my blood and my bone
