Sides

––––––––

We are the broken frames

Of the pictures smashed

By the intrusion of your sincerely-held belief

While our supposed allies

Desperately plead for civility

Ours

They mean

We are the missing member

Of the invalid family

Without the required pluses and minuses

For ours to count as valid

From those who espouse family values

Theirs

They mean

We are the burnt remains

Of the strategic violence

That bases our identities on the burnt and scarred

While they debate which crimes can be hate

When the victim’s identity makes them feel icky

Ours

They mean

We are the unchecked anger

From neither side

Of your endless double standards

Because we stopped playing the same game as you

When we learned you had different rules for us

Theirs

I mean

She

The pure androgyny

That illustrious grin

The intoxicating laugh

She

Is the one

I think of at night

When dreams are faded

And she

Is what remains

A fantasy unblurred

She

The voice of dreams

The illuminated silhouette

The tender grasp

She

The loving embrace

The one I seek

The one I crave

Complete infinity

Her touch unparalleled

She

The love undying

The unrelinquishing

The perfected imperfection

She

The gorgeous spectre

The evenflow of awakening

The bringer of solace

She’s the one

I’ve Traveled

––––––––

I’ve traveled through iron ridges

Wind farms on the freeway

Dissociation trips

And along the great rocks

Trying to get my best look

At the eyes

That render me helpless

I’ve traveled through states

That legislate against me

Going stealth to be
