"yaz" poems
The **** drops deep as does my plant.
I never love, 'cause to love is the girlfriend of scant.
Beyond the walls of drums, life is defined.
I think of happiness when I'm in a Berlin state of mind.
Hope the ant got some rant.
My scant don't like no ***** grant.
Run up to the aunt and get the cant.
In a Berlin state of mind.
What more could you ask for? The cool ****
You complain about the cold.
I gotta love it though - somebody still speaks for the screed.
I'm rappin' to the head,
And I'm gonna move your bed.
Smooth, beautiful, super, like a seed
Boy, I tell you, I thought you were a screed.
I can't take the the cold, can't take the love.
I woulda tried to sleep I guess I got no glove.
I'm rappin' to the bed,
And I'm gonna move your head.
Yea, yaz, in a Berlin state of mind.
When I was young my girlfriend had a lead.
I waz kicked out without no screed.
I never thought I'd see that speed.
Ain't a soul alive that could take my girlfriend's breed.
A slippery teddy bear is quite the everywhere.
Thinking of happiness. Yaz, thinking of happiness (happiness).

The men shout at me as they drive by
****** walk like a man!”
They hoot, shout, and laugh
As sunlight blinds their white-trash getaway.
I look around and think
How ridiculous to be unable to walk
How insane for me to think that these legs
Move on their own.
How silly for me, the queen that I am,
To think that my kingdom was
Any place I was welcome.
To be queer and visible
Is to challenge
The stained muscle shirts
“wife beaters,” strung across
Tattooed skin and handlebar
Mustaches of the “real men”
Whose siren calls
Police my step.
Most men hate us
The Children of Naomi Campbell
Men, YES MEN, too unafraid
To straighten our walk
Loosen our pant legs
And be invisible.
To be properly gay
Acceptably gay, to be
Tolerable is to be invisible
To hide, to be “real man”
My manhood is ghostly
Terrifying even
My walk so dangerous that
It is unsafe to even drive by
My community is still
Dangerous, unreal
Waiting for the next truck to drive by
To beat me, tie me to a fence and leave me
Like Matthew Shepard
A ghost on a fencepole
Unwanted, dangerous,
My people are a threat
Legs too long threatening the ability of
“real men” to have simple desires
They will do whatever it takes
To keep it easy.
Walk like a man, they yelled.
I yell back the names of my family:
Tiffany Edwards,
Zoraida Reyes, Kandy Hall
Yaz’min Shancez
Bodies that didn’t walk the right way
These ghosts were once threatening too.
Simply existing means threatening
"real men" and their women
Swinging my hips is literally deadly
To be flirtatious is to be threatening
To invite violence, attention
To get what I want, to be made a man
Real man, I am not real
As if my only job is to
Show others how to walk,
As if the rest of me
Is simply fake, fantasy, irrelevant
See how easily queer people
Are watered down to something unidimensional,
Something that is only a fragment of
“real” people – we are ghosts
Moving among you
Threatening, ******
Never just going to work
But always somehow
threatening, challenging
And forcing fantasies onto the world
Why do we always challenge
What is real? What is normal?
Why can’t a man strut? Why isn’t manhood
Something other than what swings with my
Legs?
Real. Ghostly. Fake. Invisible. Dangerous.
What I hear is *powerful, noted, interesting,
….maybe even desirable.* (GASP!)
When I walk now, I walk with an army of ghosts
Led by the fallen, queens, and divas
who threatened the men of the past.
I live their lessons and proudly
swish my hips in honor of my adopted
****** ancestors.
We Sashay however we want
Because we've realized that
a "real" men is always
Just a step away.

The Elders of the Elven Mists, at the Death of the Old Queen
From all around the Realm they came a Conclave to convene
The fair haired Golden Locks of young Azky they did Crown
Queen Azky Rode a Royal Beast of All Dragons he was King
The Queens Beast Yaz Kere Loved Soaring About on Wing
Yaz Kere knew it was his Royal fate to Protect Queen Azky
And Carry her aloft his Back Steadfast so Her Elf Arrows Fly
The Dragons lived in Erehwon upon the Chrysenal Trees
The Elves harvested the Leaves for Enchanted Wizardry
Much Magic came from those Potions as Magical Notions
To protect both Elf and Beast in Battle against enemy Hovens
The Mordel slipped in by night to Steal the Magic Leaves
but Yaz roared Alarm to dragons as swords Pulled from Sheaths
Queen Azky, Quiver, Elven Bow and Yaz Off to the Sky they go
Blades clashed and Arrows Flew as Dragons passed above the war
As Elven arrows hit thier Mark, hordes weakened to rearward
The Mordel tried but Only failed and thus ends the Battles Tale

dünyayı tedavi etmemi istiyorlar benden, sıklaştırmalıymışım safları
sağdan say dediklerinde, 1 demeliymişim kadrolu saftorik olarak
sonrası kolaymış, olaymış birine yardım etmesem
kürekle kilo kaybına uğramış fareymiş mesela yolda rastladığım
uygun bir çukura gömmeli diye geçirmeliymişim aklımdan
konteynıra bıraksam, gaz yaparmış vicdan bütün gün
sonbaharmışım, kaldı ki, yaz fortun damağında
dönüp geri bakamaz, plajdan öpücük alamazmışım
hüzünmüşüm biraz işte, üzülmüşüm o yüzden
kapa çeneni diyemezmişim pençedeki deliğe
üşür
ıslanır
büzüşürmüş etiyopya nüfuslu ayak parmaklarım
ama yetmezmiş, bu daha ne ki
yollardan bonsai man toplar, karakolda ifadeye gam üflermişim
angaryaymışım ben, asli görevimmiş hayal kırıklığı
atar damar atarlanamazmış mesela
atanırmış kalbe
düşü anket
düşük banket sevdalar
dur sen
bu daha ne ki
sevemezmişim
o da ne demekmiş öyle
işine bakmışım ben
güzmüş, güzelmiş
ama tüzelmişim ben
neme gerekmiş bahar
çileymişim ben
çilek kim, ben kim
soğukmuş
donukmuş
kullanılmışım ben
o benmişim
kederin
ayrılığın karanlık şehri
o ben işte
ruhu bedeni har
varın albatrosa sorun
benim adım sonbahar...

yaz geliyormuş ağaçların sırtına
rengarenk bluzlar, taytlar
şenlenecekmiş flora
ve göbek atan aura
yaz geldi bile diyor biri
baksana manavdaki karpuza
çekirdeksiz diyarbakır
bıyığı kiraza ılık yasla
yaz gelmiş, ** gelmiş ya
şu gözlüğünü çıkarsa
asılsa niyetin dişleri
gece, gündüz aşk olsa..
