Pride

A poem

“BROKEN FACE” by TAKAHIRO KIMURA is licensed under CC BY-NC-ND 4.0

we are
Violet to Red
and more
so much more

I am
the very softly
uttered word
missed after a
blocky sentence

I am
sand dust
flying in the air
over a moody
lone sea crest

neither here nor there

all of here
all of there
mostly beyond

See me-
I am light
that stays in the
room
when candles
exhaust

Who am I?
some part,
we all are,
fluctuating

I do

I celebrate
my non-binary
yonderness
with water colors
spilling
out of the contours
marking the edges
of this world
