21st December 2022


 
brighter day
brings the dog wet paws
once-clean trousers

newly transitioned
I was propositioned
by a bloke building me a wall.
"You're not attractive," he said,
"so you're winning with a bloke like me."
His strength and forcible kissing
made me desperate to be rid of him
but still the media declares me a predator
when I'm the sweetest woman you could meet.
Is it any wonder I learned martial arts
just to walk down the street at night.
