Two lesbians in black
snort speed in the night.
Outlaws.
Glow in the dark
beacons that show
the way, lighthouses these
alert the danger
on the rocks.
My corner desk was comfy today
same drip-dry safety zone
no promotion_no expectations
drew less attention
than an afternoon doodle, but_
three drinks and
I can be me, one more
for the road, and I
don’t mind if
you don’t like who I am.
‘Dutch Courage'
makes me as brave
as a lesbian_
Coming Out.
