A queen’s vermillion decree

The red light sits loudly on her mouth,
and gathers the silent void.

It settles sharply, a drawn
bow sealed by wax.

The crimson parts briefly against
celestial blacks The seal cracks.

A gay poem published 5 years ago in @dailydrunkmag.bsky.social for pride
I stood in an orchard, no cool mom in sight,
with a cider cooling my hand:
‘He’s gayer than the last one,’
said a Madison, not a Regina.
My boyfriend squeezed my waist
as I chugged down my silence,
coating my tongue too gay to function,
my heart a flat line, my eyes unresponsive.
An impulse sent to phantom lips:
‘Thank you.’
