Every gift you’ve given an empty promise made,
Call me a fool for
Listening to words never spoken.
In memory, with distance and time, my
Pieces begin to fit, but I find I’m
Still, and forever,
Eclipsed by you.
About the Creator
kp
I am a non-binary, trans-masc writer. I work to dismantle internalized structures of oppression, such as the gender binary, class, and race. My writing is personal but anecdotally points to a larger political picture of systemic injustice.
Violence Begets
"Any last words, cowboy?" "None you'd understand, sodbuster." "Funny. That's Marshall Sodbuster to you. But I meant some last nugget that would help us in the adjudication of the myriad offenses counted against you and your gang. I wasn't asking for penitence."
