Bi

for a homophobe, most likely

I like my tea with milk

and my sheets silk

I like earthy scents 

and flowery sweat

so

paint me confused

frame me,

whatever

just because 

your cookie cutter 

doesn’t go through this dough 

you kick about

pray

rob me 

of your ignorance

go 

wallow

in your own lone hole

Hahaha
I like your introductory confidence in your personal taste and your apathic "tell off" of the other's refusal/ignorance
I feel exactly like this sometimes
Thanks for sharing this poem of yours:)
It's a great one, as usual

OK. I'm so glad you reviewed one of mine because it led me to yours... Your economy of words, the punch of emotion, I can feel the spat irritation. This is my favourite of yours (so far) xx

[redalia]

[ashkat]

Loved the imagery with the cookie cutter. A personal and therefore powerful piece.
