Silver and gold feathers hang on the wall,
regifted to Susan, who isn't here.
Susan, whose parents are antiquate WASPs.
Susan, who believed I needed to heal.
Blue and white feathers shoot from their boa;
the one thing of hers I stole when we split.
What does it mean, when we say, '''were born as -"
She says I'm a man; I need to explore.
Red and black feathers cling to my forehead,
where they landed, stained already by blood
the validation I needed at heart.
I finally choose to be myself, blessed.
Purple and gray feathers are my favorites.
Remember who I am? I won't forget.
