Acid-dye denim might be
bad-luck or I
simply too old for
bare legs and
shocking rinses
(who the hell buys Manic Panic Vampire Red
seeks to re-cultivate original sin
desperate in disjointed
camouflage & need to impress
someone who is not watching?)
However, the real
surprise lay in
realizing I could shed
as many tears as a teen
who would not blink
at acid-dye-denim
or remember
when high-waisted was
in fashion
the first time around
when heartbreak felt
much, much
more hopeful
even if red dye
be it 1999 or 2019
invariably ran
transforming
tears
pink
Fire!!
You know you wanna so go for it, Rock it out ✌🏽
You will feel so much better – let it out
Then and there is the woo of all things about the right and wrong and you need be the ten and the tite of all things about right and wrong and they give it to then and there about the right of all to see then and not here but there and you are King and I am Prince Charming in the begin and the end of all soul and drew and that be it for now love Bruce E Saunders the Mike of One and the Soul of All
Indelible stain immune to time
Visible to any with more to add
Dagger of disappointment still in heart
There for any new grief to twist
Supposed wisdom of age
Grants no protection
To the unguarded heart
Risking still to love

I’m so glad I saw you here love. Did you enter any poetry for the lesbian poetry anthology I’m working on? It’s huge. I would love you in it. I can get your work looked at even though the deadline has passed because we’re not going to print till later in Sept October. If you’re interested?
Up to five poems. Not erotica. About women loving women and our lives. You can email me with them and a 75 max word bio. candicedaquin@gmail.com
I tried to email you but I couldn’t find your email I’d wanted you to know and submit. Xxx hope you do
You will if you submit to the lesbian poetry anthology my friend!!
And aspect of being lesbian even infertility anything related to real lesbian lives. It’ll be a terrific anthology at 350 pages already. Xx
Omg! That is so awesome of you to offer! I am no poet, the words simply spill out of me occasionally. I love your words, I love the feeling they evoke in me and you really have made me feel included (I have no other word right now) or part of something beautiful and creative from topics obscure or hidden. Let me think this over in the morning 🧡
