Living Testament
>A tribute
To the WWFSML on the occasion of their first anniversary,
Truly terible poetry.
Happy Birthday!
This is what it means to be a woman in love
A woman who navigates
With her neat compact stars and maps
Who never suspected
Plush
Desire
In
The arms of another diana might
Fulfill me
The ease of a mirror-
Twin
Warmer than the hard
apollos
I have known
But they hate us
This is what it means to be
A man in the arms
Of another man
Who dared
To
Break
This
Wall between the violent adams and
Our love
I fight for our right to wash dirty
Laundry in public
But
They have our number
They'll chase us through the field.
This is what it means to be
In pain
In joy
In Fear
In
Lust
Love
Anger, and to be treated
As though
Disseased minds, posioned children, burning churches
Are on our backs
But
We Are a living testament to the fact
That love is not pink or blue,
But the rainbow of life.
