Lines from the poem The Republic of Tenderness by Nathan Spoon

that might prompt some writing:

This

is a secret you already know even though you are waiting

to realize that.

You are living inside….

You are the answer everybody else is

waiting for.

saturday afternoon | Poetry Database | Split This Rock

we ride in on the red line

our laces coming undone as we float over fare gates 

                                                                    until we fall into a night ...

It is an honor to have my poem EVERY DAY IS A TRANS DAY featured as @split_this_rock Poem of the Week. This short but sweet poem is about exhaustion, self care, grief, and how even in the small, private, and domestic moments of life, I am trans enough.

You’ll never guess whose voice our poet Brad Richard is channeling here... In *Parasite Kingdom,* the parallels to our own terrifying world are not always this stark, but you’ll feel it, like a dream, like the creepy mythology that just won’t die. You’ve got to read it to believe it! Buy at Small Press DIstribution, and you won’t be sorry! #spdbooks #parasitekingdom #poetry #politicalpoetry #splitthisrock #neworleanspoet #neworleanspoetry #neworleanspoetryfest #poetrycommunity https://www.instagram.com/p/ByGXdjfB37Q/?igshid=37tjomfrtqsi
