Young Queerlings
This week’s poem comes from Tamsin: “I wrote “Young Queerlings” during a trans support group. I had started learning about trans identities and I felt a yearning for community. The poem was also an ode to my young queer self.”
Young Queerlings
allow some love for your heart,
young queerling.
extend your passions,
hand trembling, to the sparing few
already wrought by the betrayal
of a body unmatching
the beauty and wholeness
of the mind.
