EMPTY SEATS

Cold bodies lie still

Once longed to live fearless

Full dreams - Full Lungs

Left Broken - Left breathless

Cold bodies under clean sheets

Unsaved by more optics

Not one retweet

Kept a doll from a coffin

Trans resistance

freed you.

and we hear you call us brave

54 years since Stonewall

and every June you look so free

While you’re dancing on our graves.

Cold bodies; empty seats

We once sat in our truth

empty seats,

in front of endless graves

Another trans death

absent of you.
