I'm delighted to show you all my poem Woman-Adjacent, which was published in Washing Windows III on Monday by Arlen House!

This is the first poem I ever wrote about being non-binary and I'm so happy it found such a wonderful home!

Woman-Adjacent

 

Woman-adjacent.

That makes sense, doesn’t

it? A not quite that

shape. If I try her

on she fits me for

a day, then slithers

off like a weary

skin. But not a him,

either. Adjacent,

not perpendicular.

Everything between

one shape. Another

shouting heartache when

someone else is placed

over me, when an

imposter breaks bones

to tell me who I

am.

One blonde, one brunette; one in black, one in white with shoulder bared; one with eyes closed, one looking at camera. Vulnerability, tenderness, strength.
