surrounded

to the man who said he stopped seeing me because he didn’t want to be “surrounded by transgenders”

I am going to please my new lover so goddamn well I will pleasure her and protect her and make her dick hard and her laughter soft and we will be beautiful and free and they will never understand and we will sweat and moan and sing and everything will be praise

and everything will be

and everything 

forgiving a fuckboy

I see him

now

child on a dusty road 

runsome distance away

skittish eyes burning nose running

probably

crying for a long time but done

now

kicking at some rocks

or a can

swinging his arms

unsure what to do next 

unheld and wandersome

unaware

it was safe for him to come home

now
