Crimson colors coated the sky,
Chaos ensued, as the day went awry.
Curious whispers filled the air,
Creatures lurking, beyond compare.
Cunningly, they crept and crawled,
Carelessly, the humans brawled.
Cries for help, unheeded by all,
Criminals thrived, in the downfall.
Chaos grew, and so did the fear,
Cruel intentions, became clear.
Curiosity killed the cat, they say,
Cautiousness became the only way.
Conspiracies formed, in the dark,
Concealing secrets, with a mark.
Curious minds, began to stir,
Conspiracy theories, they began to purr.
Catastrophic events, unforeseen,
Covered up, like they'd never been.
Curious minds, dug deeper still,
Culprits caught, with iron will.
Crisis averted, but at a cost,
Curious minds, ultimately lost.
Clandestine secrets, forever sealed,
Crimson memories, never healed.

Letter to our Queer & Trans Youth
Hey, you. I thought I’d start this letter by telling you a little about myself, just so you know who you’re dealing with. I’m an emotional dad, father to three amazing kids who we met through the foster care system, and whose presence in our lives has really transformed my sense of responsibility to the communities that surround us. The connections we’ve made with one another, with our extended families, and with the communities where we live and look for belonging have catapulted us into this whirlwind of emotional tumult which, while not easy by any stretch of the measure, has also been remarkably healing. I realize ours is really only a one-sided chosen family, since our kids didn’t get to choose to live here, but I’d like to think that they did choose to let us love them, which allowed them to grow to love us. And I think that’s where I want to go with this letter- to a place where you can find belonging and healing- even if the pathway there may be peppered with some emotional tumult.
