"to be trans
is to be your own pallbearer"—
to feel dead fingers that
curl when yours do,
grip when yours grip,
sick and thick with rot
to have a dead [girl/boy] attached
like a tumour, feeding from you,
whimpering
i cover [his/her] ears
so [s/he] does not hear me killing [him/her]
perpetually forever/so [s/he] might move on to Heaven
