A blue jay perches
Watches the autumn leaves fall--
And stays there alone

I've decided
That I will always look up
Because people stare down at their feet all time
And they don't get to see the trees, the leaves, and the sky
And the first time I tried it out
It left me with no doubt
Because I saw an apple tree
The birds soaring
The squirrels in all of their stress
The stars
And it made wonder
Why I ever looked down
When it was so easy to look up
And see the beauties of the world

Dont call me trans masc
When ive always been a boy

A tidal wave,
these bones smashes.
World goes black,
and a poison
infects pavement cracks.
A caught so surprise,
What has exposed
the colored butterflies
will end tonight.
And we explode
like little moths
drawn to shiny light
dead upon zapped.
Tiny vessels trembling
inside of tiny hands
in the flooding,
head so submerged
under green water.
