Heather OC: Week 20 of 208

Semaphore

June 1, 2025

Every parade this month

A scream, a dance, a pyre.

Rainbows and leather. Queens

And quotations. Short shorts

And oppression. Do not

Saunter backward. No

Matter how the effect

Chills us. Keep

Waving our arms. Keep

Signaling to our neighbors.

The flags of our Queer Alphabet;

Poles colorful and black.

Disco dirge and laws

On our bodies; in our beds.

Pink triangles. Red pills.

Rainbow oceans of roads.
