Alligators & GunsThe stars are sleeping now,It’s so quiet after fear after darkness after forgetting & remembering after gunfire after gunfire after love after rebirth & transition after joy after alligatorsWe’re grabbing each day one at a time,as though we have the power to shift time,to take great handfuls of days and propelourselves forward without feeling.We look toward the sky, watch the clouds of our tearsand wonder about beyond,about the great expanses wherethese memories don’t hauntwhoever it is living there.The alligators are encircling us,believing we are defeated.Some days, they are right.The humid air isn’t so safe anymore;music & everything stings with salt, dissipates into soundless pain.Fading, fading, always fading.Everything is always fadinginto forgetting, into rumor,into a dark before,& into a misremembered future.Fading into grey.There’s still no color in flowers,but we keep planting them anyway.I am waiting for the colors to return, 49 faded roses, still fixed to last year’s thorny branchesThere is still no sign of rabbits,but we keep planting clover.I am waiting for the rabbits to return, 49 dead rabbits, still stuck between alligator teeth.Everything is still so quiet,but we keep playing the music.I am dancing in the still silence, 49 ringings in our ears. Everything is so cold & vacant.We’ve had this pain wrapped around us,the afterbirth of our unraveling.The colors will return,they always return.We must keep planting.Written 12 June 2021 in Payne County, Oklahoma.This is a first draft; I may never get it to express what it should express. I will try though.#lgbtpoetry #lgbtcommunity #pulsenightclub #poetry #poemsofinstagram #poems #lgbtpoetrycommunity
