Surrender
Temptation in The City of Light
At the very top I stand
marveling down at the city of romance,
injecting myself with its needle.
I take it all in,
embracing the warm sensation
deep into my body –
it’s easy to fall in love here.
Rushing through my veins
I am entranced and still
I only crave more.
One fix of you is never enough,
So seduce my senses -
and set me free.
These city lights shine in confirmation,
effortlessly, my body gives in
to this innate temptation.
Why try to stay away, my dear
when I simply…
can’t give you up?
I give in.
Letting go, now I only feel the breeze
Gently carrying me, yet knowing
I fell.

Letter to our Queer & Trans Youth
Hey, you. I thought I’d start this letter by telling you a little about myself, just so you know who you’re dealing with. I’m an emotional dad, father to three amazing kids who we met through the foster care system, and whose presence in our lives has really transformed my sense of responsibility to the communities that surround us. The connections we’ve made with one another, with our extended families, and with the communities where we live and look for belonging have catapulted us into this whirlwind of emotional tumult which, while not easy by any stretch of the measure, has also been remarkably healing. I realize ours is really only a one-sided chosen family, since our kids didn’t get to choose to live here, but I’d like to think that they did choose to let us love them, which allowed them to grow to love us. And I think that’s where I want to go with this letter- to a place where you can find belonging and healing- even if the pathway there may be peppered with some emotional tumult.
