A few small poems from the depths of a big heart

Cracked mirrors

I am a queer reflection

of the contradictions of society.

They fetishize me

because I remind them of the truth.

Soft firmness

As the distance between us widens

with the stretching of time

my heart softens

and I wonder how you been.

To be free

I like my body when it is with your body.

I like the familiarity of our limbs

the warmth and comfort they provide.

I like the feelings of ease

feelings some take for granted

feelings that are often denied to us.

Loveless systems breed repression

We are not suppose to exist

there is no language to help navigate our movement.

Instinctual,

we fumble through the dark

building our own paths

finding our tongues along the way.
