Dutchman’s Breeches Dicentra cucullaria Papaveraceae

Dicentra cucullaria - Dutchman's breeches

Lotte Grønkjær, Dicentra (2025)

bleedingheart or dicentra

a presentation term for those who present as amerill, meriline, merilic or otherwise MerIN (amerill in nature)

this could mean anything for the individual, and it doesnt have a particular "look", though examples for its presentation could be:

partially or fully, pink, red, purple, white, or pitch black hair

lovecore, romantic, kawaii or bubblegum bae fashion combined with edgier themes or accessories, tentatively due to the name, "yanderecore"

non-medical yamikawaii, dark or sweet girly, e-girl, morute, or similar fashion and inspired accessories.

sickly or artistic and colorful makeup

aro and arospec paraphernalia

however, none of this is necessary for one to claim themselves to be presenting as a bleedingheart, trust ones personal identifications above outside judgement.

When I was ten

someone told me

“Right now, your uterus

is the size of a small strawberry”.

I thought of red staining the tongue,

seeds scraping the bumps on its underside.

Today the memory came back all wrong

pacing along double-lines staining pink

as fruit on tissue left out too long.

Out of season, yet it is the size

of a strawberry.

I cry the way you cry

when you already know

what you have to do.

I fear this the way one is afraid of certain rooms.

It presses on that voice, that kitchen,

the calm cruelty of information

how easily they told me

what grows where.

I try with all I have not to imagine its roots.

think “this is my body” like a spell that works

if you say it a thousand times.

Somewhere, summer strawberries are being

washed, hulled, sugared, loved.

And people say

how small, how sweet,

This thought came to me at night at it was a disaster. Silly thoughts always win

Under cut is just more silly things and a few doodles.
