My Telfar bag came in the mail today.
A woman
just like Riah Milton, Dominique Fells or Ashley Moore
probably imagining what it's like to have one
Can only see getting one
As a pipe dream
She got kicked out of her home for coming out
We meet in a connection of soul
Where her being herself
Calls a greater self out of me
No fists
No suit
saying the shelter she's trying to get into
can look up her skirt
before letting her in
"I've got this, sis", she tells me
In this space
"Just have my back".
This is for her.
