Tragedia
they say it is a tragedy 1 when one is a lesbian but I say it
is something to celebrate the lesbian has the whole world
at her feet she can whistle or fly dance or climb just as her
forebears her ancestors of desire have done
the emotional power of love pulls some from the safety of
their fireplaces to the wilder zones of the heart where the
horses gallop in the practice of freedom where the kanji
for woman 2 is not demure where the word ‘restriction’ is
an internal word
but that too they say is a tragedy to be an outsider to have
a life of fear a life where the unknown rules where
unpredictability leads you not by the hand but releases
you insists you walk on across the mapless terrain
through limbo 3 in the shadow of ravines that peak
skyward
is it a tragedy to do the work you crave is it a tragedy to
spend your life in the arms of the one you love
they tell stories of us without realising it they tell us of
amazons of Penthesileia 4 Lysippe Melanippe Alcippe
Hippolyta 5 great horsewomen as you can tell from their
names 6 leaders in the ways of women
