warn sun
scattered on tear-stained earth

warm sun
washing away the ashes
of a terrible night
so many bad dreams
colliding in my sleeping brain
school days and work horrors
forty years since I went to school
and twenty since I worked for the government
yet still they dominate
and terrify.
I was not a happy person
in the glory days of youth
gender disphoria
before there were words for it
