E L D E R TRANS WOMEN ARE A R I V E R
IMAGE DESCRIPTION: Text of the poem “e l d e r trans women are a r i v e r” gently curves down the page like water running. It reads as follows: “Life flowed us into us our / synapses snapped into a / lambent quilt of self / effulgence we sparkle / our lovely selves whole / we lean into our / far horizon we / do not pause in our / becoming we / dig our toes / into sunset / the moon path / silvers behind us / dark brilliant / sounds of / nightbirds presage / the moment mid / night moves into / gray pulling day / from the east / we praise this / late dawn / in her gown / of blush / we praise the twilight / yet to come / we praise the now / we / are.”
