I am Stacie / I am a Transgender ( MTF ) & I am Proud of Me :
It was the winter of 2009, 14 inches of snow had fallen overnight. It was the most I had seen in years, since when I was 3 years old living in Kalama. My siblings and I as soon as we saw the snow rushed into our heavy winter coats and overall snow pants with mittens and caps to cover the gaps. Then we raced outside moving like marshmellows with our golden labrador with us. Determined. we laid the first angels of the snow and created the first snowman of the season. The snow man didn't have buttons for eyes or a carrot nose. He had stones for eyes and a smile and ears made of granola bars and peanut butter pinecones for hair. Our mom named it the birdfeeder snowman. But our fat old goldfinch labrador ate him before the birds could ever get to snack.

The Goldfinch Labrador
Remember that afternoon on the ferry Ride to Nantucket The labrador who fell asleep on my foot And the kid who vomited As we stood at the rail, Mist in our faces Foam that curled From the keel in swirls A whole world in that turbulence That no one would ever know of - Focused on the Grey Lady's Promise that a warm comforter Would melt us together again. And it did, amid the strangers We brushed past On the cobbles at the wharf. Back at the dock, You greeted old demons And so did I But kept them secrets From each other On the long ride Through pine forests As you slept, I drove Back home.

I wake to the news of another lynching As our boys scream Bleed Blue And over the border, the Green Girls rejoice And somewhere in Jharkhand Two families mourn the death of their men Cattle traders? Terrorists? Muslim? With cloth stuffed in their throats And arms tied behind Hatred showing in the mob mentality Another dark blot on our secular fabric And I watch a short film, India, India Of a young boy on Tuesday selling ganeshas at a temple Another image of the same boy on a Friday Selling taweez and chanting Ya Ali Outside Mumbai’s Haji Ali And on Sunday, the same boy singing the praises of the Lord outside a church, selling amulets And I smile This is the India I love, the different faiths The acceptance, the co-existence As the morning drones on, I watch and participate In the endless debates on Facebook and Twitter Of people posing, taking sides, sounding pedantic While they sit comfortably in their homes Sipping ginger tea made by an underage maid While their Labrador retriever is taken for a walk By their Nepali driver and the Muslim cook smokes a bidi In the garden with the Bihari maali where their son plays But what will happen to the sons of the lynched cattle traders? What will happen to the brothers of the women ***** What will happen to the mothers of the sons killed? What will happen to the fathers of the unborn children Killed for their mistake of being a girl child? Is this the India we want to grow up in? Is this the India we want to have children in? Is this the India we want to grow old in? Wake up, my country, it is still dawn The road is long and far and we have miles to walk Towards peace and freedom and love Towards acceptance and equality and oneness Get off that sofa and make a difference Participate, vote, empower, create, enable It’s up to you whether our country goes this way or that So, wake up, my country, it is still dawn Wake up, my country, it is still dawn

Yep puppy sitting my daughters eleven week old red fox Labrador ***** All long legs big feet and puddles of *** on the carpet Oh dear, Mollie dogs not happy This pup is into everything The contents of my pockets now strewn over the floor, Teeth marks in my very expensive cell phone But I wouldn't change anything Its been eight years since Mollie dog was a puppy And I'd forgotten what fun they can be Anyway how do I explain to my daughter about The scratches on Ambers' nose? Well she learned the hard way about what happens When a puppy investigates one of my boys

labrador kindness
Remembering the Strait of Belle Isle or some northerly harbor of Labrador, before he became a schoolteacher a great-uncle painted a big picture. Receding for miles on either side into a flushed, still sky are overhanging pale blue cliffs hundreds of feet high, their bases fretted by little arches, the entrances to caves running in along the level of a bay masked by perfect waves. On the middle of that quiet floor sits a fleet of small black ships, square-rigged, sails furled, motionless, their spars like burnt match-sticks. And high above them, over the tall cliffs' semi-translucent ranks, are scribbled hundreds of fine black birds hanging in n's in banks. One can hear their crying, crying, the only sound there is except for occasional sizhine as a large aquatic animal breathes. In the pink light the small red sun goes rolling, rolling, round and round and round at the same height in perpetual sunset, comprehensive, consoling, while the ships consider it. Apparently they have reached their destination. It would be hard to say what brought them there, commerce or contemplation.

labrador kindness
As I lay beside my darling On an early Sunday morn, I could feel her rounded softness Sleeping under blankets warm. My mind caroused the memories And loitered on it's way And found itself deliciously, Immersed in golden play. I remembered something special In the way my little boy would look As his eyes rose up in wonderment When I read his favorite book. And the joy involved in feeding A hungry little mouth When the porridge spooned all over From the eyebrows heading south. A tantalizing moment On the beach down by the sea, In the warm December sunshine With my happy family. We were running in the black sand Drawing circles with a stick As the surging waves approached them Laughing little boys were quick. Laughing, happy moments And some sad ones like the day When dear old Meg, our Labrador, Got sick and passed away. Young Boaz in his sadness Climbed the big tree to it's crown And it took a lot of pleading To persuade him to come down. And young Solly played the taniwha At the Cornwall Park school play And a better taniwha has yet To grace the stage today. A natural in his element This young comedian So hilariously funny As he drew the audience in. The tender, loving moments As we both strolled arm in arm Through the verdant Ferntree Gully With it's sunlit grace and charm. And the towering eucalyptus, Hanging wood smoke in the air And the whiplash resonation Of the lyrebird hidden there. Of Buttercup's wild parties When fancy dress was king, When everyone would whoop it up And laugh and dance and sing. When mum's and dad's and little kids All joined the happy throng With spud mashing as a ceremony And a night of fun and song. Of sitting in the garden With your feet up and a book And a cold beer at your elbow And a barbecue to cook. With the easy feel of family As they go about their day And the joyous sound of summer When two noisy tui's play. Memories of yesterday Moments in the life Of ecstasy and agony And wonderment and plight. And the ordinary ness of everything And the magic everywhere, Like the auburn in the sunlight As it strikes my darling's hair. Marshalg Mangere Bridge 10 October 2009

You call me your dog, your ***** your fool, hurling words like stones to shatter my heart. I wag my tail anyway, smiling through trembling lips, fetching scraps of kindness from the shadow of your hands. You call me useless, a beast beyond learning, but I only want to please you— to sit, to stay, to love. Even as you turn away, your voice cracking the whip, I crawl through every wound, bearing the weight of your name like a leash around my soul. For to be your dog is still to be near you, and I, the fool, would bleed to feel you call me mine.

Stranded the shore the loneliest row boat. Laid on the shore as if a grounded whale carcass collecting barnacles. No rescuers ro save this noble beast. The tide may come and take it home. Depending on the time of tide. The setting sun brings with it relief. Cooler in a peaceful air. A lonely gentlemen elderly in years. Walking his chocolate labrador, Charlie, stumbles across an old wooden rotting oar. Was going to sling it back into the sea. Further along the shore he spies a lonesome row boat. A perfect pair.. Row boat and oar reunited. (c)Livvi MMXV Watch this space...part two to follow.

Peter Pan in Bowring Park
We are told to be happy told to be healthy 'Go to the university, son' to be handed intelligence 'Make some money, marry a pretty girl.' Force children into the world to do as you did. Live in a nice house for the rest of your days. Sit outside and watch your happy healthy normal children play. You'll hardly hear the whimper of the sparrow caught in the teeth of your purebred black labrador retriever. A bird with a broken wing expected to live a life of flight.

Happy and Healthy
JESUS emptied the devils of one man into forty hogs and the hogs took the edge of a high rock and dropped off and down into the sea: a mob. The sheep on the hills of Australia, blundering fourfooted in the sunset mist to the dark, they go one way, they hunt one sleep, they find one pocket of grass for all. Karnak? Pyramids? Sphinx paws tall as a coolie? Tombs kept for kings and sacred cows? A mob. Young roast pigs and naked dancing girls of Belshazzar, the room where a thousand sat guzzling when a hand wrote: Mene, mene, tekel, upharsin? A mob. The honeycomb of green that won the sun as the Hanging Gardens of Nineveh, flew to its shape at the hands of a mob that followed the fingers of Nebuchadnezzar: a mob of one hand and one plan. Stones of a circle of hills at Athens, staircases of a mountain in Peru, scattered clans of marble dragons in China: each a mob on the rim of a sunrise: hammers and wagons have them now. Locks and gates of Panama? The Union Pacific crossing deserts and tunneling mountains? The Woolworth on land and the Titanic at sea? Lighthouses blinking a coast line from Labrador to Key West? Pigiron bars piled on a barge whistling in a fog off Sheboygan? A mob: hammers and wagons have them to-morrow. The mob? A typhoon tearing loose an island from thousand-year moorings and bastions, shooting a volcanic ash with a fire tongue that licks up cities and peoples. Layers of worms eating rocks and forming loam and valley floors for potatoes, wheat, watermelons. The mob? A jag of lightning, a geyser, a gravel mass loosening... The mob ... kills or builds ... the mob is Attila or Ghengis Khan, the mob is Napoleon, Lincoln. I am born in the mob-I die in the mob-the same goes for you-I don't care who you are. I cross the sheets of fire in No Man's land for you, my brother-I slip a steel tooth into your throat, you my brother-I die for you and I **** you-It is a twisted and gnarled thing, a crimson wool: One more arch of stars, In the night of our mist, In the night of our tears.

Giant yellow paws tap-dance on the porch Her fat tail wags so violent you stand clear of the back end Hip-hop, hip-hop, and an occasional skip Her whole body shouts "It's time! It's time! Hooray!" You might think she had never been fed Except that she is huge Her half-crazy labrador grin is fixed She nudges you toward the bowl Thanks you with a wet nose on clean clothes Happiness in the morning Happiness in a 40lb bag

Oh no, of course not, I'm merely the son, He was the father, between us, the Holy Ghost of Rhyme

I named her after nature she came wobbling to me from behind a flower vase petals clinging to her soft fur. No other name would have suited this little bouncy pet better than 'petals' she just wanted that name all for herself. an extra biscuit for you today.

Our faithful black Labrador, who was an old lady when I was just a boy, had six pups and despite the grey on her muzzle, produced enough milk for them all. She would take her bowl to the sink when thirsty, tinned-meat to the can-opener when hungry. When tired, she would sprawl out on a rug before the coal fire, on occasion, licking her master’s feet before falling asleep.      Sometimes, I would rest my head upon her chest, listening to her breathing. In her dreams she would sometimes yelp softly and I would soothe her nightmares away by stroking her sleek black coat. In our garden, during the pleasant sunshine of a warm afternoon, we used to play together. Throwing a tennis ball that she would chase then fetch back and drop in my waiting hands for me to throw again. This was by far, her favourite game.      Some considered that she ran out in front of the School Teacher’s speeding car deliberately. “Because of her age,” they said, and “her inability to cope with the pups, only just turned two weeks old,” — that my mother reared, against all predictions.        I never accepted this nonsense. At the time, such a thing never crossed my mind as I looked at her, sprawled across the roadside verge. Her eyes were open, but through my tears I could see they were sightless. I also saw the muddy tyre-print across her unmoving ribs and how her legs twisted at an unnatural angle. I could not help my crying, but I felt no shame: none at all.        The sad regret I saw in the School Teacher’s red-rimmed eyes did nothing to ease my pain.  If anything, her sorrow made me feel even worse. I felt guilty because I wanted to hate her. Perhaps I did hate her! I can barely remember now. With the passage of time the pain and the hate, if indeed there was any hate, has faded.      Whenever I pass our old house, where Moss is buried in the garden in which she played, I recall our times together and give her good thoughts. For good thoughts are all that I have for our faithful black Labrador, who was an old lady when I was just a boy.

Half asleep on my walk to the bus stop, The Texada clear-cut smiles like the gap-tooth of the Georgia Strait and the 3 pops of melatonin ingested 11 hours ago still have me waning on the down-low like a somewhat solid ghost in a Labrador windstorm. I send you paragraphs And all of my heartbreaks make me worried I've finally scared you off But logic trusts itself to you and says, 'Cabo San Lucas, tantrastic,' I'm no stoic. Otherwise this poem would still be sleeping in alphabet. It's only the middle of the week but it feels like it's been a month, At least At little The weather is Hyde again, But as of right now I don't really mind I just wish you had sunk into my chest last night as we slept together, Finding our mind within its memory foam, I dreamed of you and wondered If Mexico really existed.

Cabo San Lucas, tantrastic.
