you’re going to make a good dad (for certain) & you roll your eyes & think which is it?

am i an acid burn bird wing swinging down to earth inching into humanity or the sainted virgin father ready to lasso love into the innocence of medical debt?

& it’s all too tense & too bullshit so you shrug off & smile & say i think the stork quit his job after he delivered me

GRIT: a poetry collection by silas denver melvin

goodreads

The polite transphobia from adult women is no longer keeping you hostage as you sob an earthquake in your ex-boyfriend's car. Grit is a transgender coming of age story. There are no beautiful rainbows here, no whispers, but raw cries from somewhere primal.

Mod opinion: I haven't read this poetry collection, but I think I've read some of the author's poems here on tumblr.

notes on lazy transexuality - jude francis

[text description:

(in italics) notes on lazy transexuality

the sweat collects under my tits whether i bind or not.

when i wear my hair long it is not in a feminine-wiles-hair-flip-tried-and-true way - it is more

half-sure-all-tired-curls-on-your-neck-glam-rock-pansy way.

hips too wide for mens jeans mean

my waist is drowned in fabric, hiding the curve of ass and stomach, where

soft flesh waits to be gripped by hands like mine, which reach out to

a reflection that must be explained away.

round face and patchy beard, the bikini top i flaunt because shit, i may not want it

but this chest is bangin' and

if you can see the transexuality glinting in my eyes, don't look away.

i have grown comfortable, and too lazy to try and pass

the nonstop examination of the eyes of the world, this interrogation where

there is no alibi, no getaway car or accomplice to bust me out this time.

there is only sweat and flesh and a body to be lived in, and by god

i will live. /end description]

Grit is a transgender coming of age story. There are no beautiful rainbows here, no whispers, but raw cries from somewhere primal.

"Silas' words dart in and out like a scalpel revealing layers of flesh that have been given-or-taken-by lovers, parents, cruelty, and fate." - Sean Felix
