The Prism Shatters
(Indefinable Sonnet)
The Prism Shatters
-
The streamers wilt; confetti fills the streets.
The men retract our rights, yet fill our sheets.
The rainbows fill the trashcans, broken hopes.
The bootprints blacken our discarded signs.
The Managers from where I work were there
Within their float; then ate at Chick-fil-a.
Each rainbow'd company to status quo
Of filling pockets of the bigots well.
-
Yet I, a fool, do hope we'll see a day
Where allies linger more than once a year.
A day we'll step into the sun renewed
Without the whispers, ghosts around our necks.
A day I'll tell my parents of my truth
And not just avatars on Twitter's realm.
