Monument

I wrote this last night, towards the end of Trans Day of Remembrance, and it kinda poured out of me, like a lot of my best stuff does.

Monument

Where is our monument?
The monolith to our lost siblings
Our memorial
To those of us
Who had the ultimate price
Placed on their heads
Unwillingly
By “civilised” society
When it is anything but
A society unable to cope with us
Unwilling to accept us
We, who are the most rare of us
Who inhabit the totality of our world
Our lives unknowable to you
So we pay
A cost in blood
Remember us
Whole and complete
While you still have us.
