Can we pretend
just for one day
that you’re alive
i never lost you
i never cried
i never let your body
turn into ashes
***
Can we act like
you’re still here
you come home
you miss me
you hug me
you’re mad
about something
***
I’m tired
so exhausted
petrified
of knowing
i had you
your love
and I lost it

The Pride Flag and the Diversion
For nearly a decade, the LGBTQIA Pride Flag rippled in the wind at Christopher Park, a kaleidoscope of color staked into the soil of America’s first national monument to LGBTQIA+ liberation. That flag came down this week. Federal officials, citing new guidance from the Trump Administration, silently lowered the rainbow flag from its pole across the street from the Stonewall Inn. The birthplace of the modern gay rights movement now flies only the United States flag.
