Greetings to the One with dark, flowing curls.
A galaxy stitched on my dress unfurls.
Stars help you escape, their light guiding,
Scorching my skin, my bones, heart shining.
Does the moon not lead you at night?
Such is the crescent, calming a noose so tight!
Releasing your soul, breathing new life.
As fire runs through veins, breaking strife.
Awaken, you mustn’t, lest the fantasy be slain!
No longer in a trance, I’d sink into the mundane.
So, under the stars, you’ll dance and spin.
Under the moon, my beloved kingdom, I’ll sing.
The dreamy, night sky, your eternal domain.
In our starry mind, let us burn as I reign.

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.
