i once kissed a girl
with a broken jaw
that her father had given her.

she closed puffy blue and black eyes
and sagged against me
and i ran my fingers over the cuts and swollen places on her face and neck
as we kissed

when she opened her eyes again
her irises had gone black
and inside those glittering pupils
something dangerous was waking

la_beaute_dormant
and another one awakes in the world.

she moved back to tucson
and stopped
responding to my texts

'my mother told me
she wouldn't love me anymore
if i was gay'

and

DannyH The emptiest of threats and if it wasn't well, then it was never there to lose. I will never forget 'til the day I die the day my daughter came out to me and I suddenly realised, because of the way I'd lived my life and the friends I'd made that I could say, without a doubt in my mind "You are surrounded by people who will be cool with this." 231124

DannyH If loving your kids is a choice - go to the hospital. 231124

. i don't blame her
for wanting her mother to love her
more than
she wanted me to


all the puritans
your country didn't want
are still kicking
here in America
all the marches and laws
won't change all minds
and i would never ask anyone
to choose
between me and
their family
