Dream of a Trans Sister
by H. Melt
Can you imagine
transitioning together
in the same old house,
our parents hosting a meeting
for pflag (or tflag) in the living room
while we dig through the costume bin
in the basement, dancing to ezra furman
with a fuzzy pink boa hugging my neck.
we watch isis king compete to be
america’s next top model.
we walk down the street
for rainbow sherbet (me)
& gold medal ribbon (you).
we take the train to lurie’s for
a checkup & sit on the steps
of the mca, searching
each other's faces &
chests for what
comes next
