God’s blessing***whispers from activists past***forget-me-not
Memories gift***a white man shoves someone like me in the street***a treasure
The flower of my lover's birth land***waiting to be stomped out***blood and ink stain my skin
Fondly known as scorpion grassess***the royal blue of a man fucking another man***thriving
in the bitterest of colds
Trivial little thing clinging to friends on the vine***the neon lights of every club shot up***a
petal for each stage of grief
“Remember” you are not alone***I stand upon the blood and bone of those before me***I have
your back
An herb disguised as a flower***I do not wish to be Adam and Eve***an apology from god.
The brilliant gold of youth***the man in my bed is not your concern***masked under a blue so
deep I swam in it
A kiss upon the lips of legacy***of course I went to church on Sunday-ten years ago***grown
in the tracks of American history
Eternal love***bullshit***remind me of my place
