Pride ’24
Drag Queens at brunch,
dolled up in their finest bedazzled cowboy boots stuffing cash down their handcrafted bosoms
Cocktails strewn haphazardly across the table,long stemmed glasses reflecting the sheen of liquor spilled by stray elbows
Bright decor boasting neon signs, paper umbrellas and extra straws sitting pretty at the endcap of the undeniably sticky bar
Queers and peers and souls of every flavour, shamelessly gathered in celebration of their resilience

Yes! Tho I wish the bar weren’t so sticky 😏
My introvert self is fully content to watch the revelry from a safe and non sticky distance 😂
GURL.
Oh how I adore this celebratory poem.
Wonderful use of sounds, friend.
“Handcrafted bosoms”
This also has a great sense of meter. And starts off with haiku flavor!
Wonderful ending — sustaining memorable moments throughout!!
