what we never forget (in honor of pride 2024)
do you remember the day
your lips met her lips
the day your tongue
touched her tongue
the moment you chose
her (you) for the first time?
do you remember the liminal
space between who you
believed you were and who
you became right there
in that moment when
just the parting of her lips
became your portal
home?

I love poems dedicated to arrival. When you can see that something is perfect. It doesn’t have to always be people, even, it’s almost like the closest thing we can have to perfection: awareness.
Indeed!
Beautiful and emotionally arresting conclusion! Also identify with “the moment you chose/her (you) for the first time?”
thank you!
