Amidst the Storm (a poem)
So many saw it coming but ignored the warning signs. (a follow-up to my 2016 poem The Coming Storm)

In light of recent events, I thought I’d come clean and share… My Trans Agenda.
I stand tall, proud,
find strength in who I am,
inspired by my ancestors.
Surrounded by people, blind to the tension. This patchwork relationship, this marriage of convenience, is falling apart.
I walked out of the din, wandered into the yard. I never thought performing would be so damned hard.
All those years piling on layers of my own design, deep and unyielding, packed tight by every boot that walked over me…

Celebrate what we have been given: this immeasurable gift of expression…
hand in hand, we left that day, together, come rain or shine.
the longer i live, the more i see, it’s true that love is blind.
