Unpack all the masks
Today our true spirits dance

Question for my fellow poets who write on iPhones: I see a lot of poets uploading poems with a simple plain background. It looks nice and you can get more words in then you can on Bluesky. I come from Android world, so I’m wondering how best to do this on my iPhone. Any thoughts appreciated! ☺️

“They Thought We Were Lesbians”
The vulnerability of skin
Of going deeper than that
To discuss attraction
And gender
In a parade
Or a festival
At the risk of backlash
From both inside
And outside the community
When I flash my Pansexual bracelet
Holding the hand
Of my Asexual love

It’s dark here
Take my hand
You won’t get lost
Tell me about this place
That keeps pulling you back
Sleepless nights
Fear lives here
Hiding around corners
BRAIN GLITCH
Blinding pain
I help you out of the dark place quickly
Running to fight my pain

I have tariffed
the penguins
that are on
Heard Island
and which
you were probably
assuming
did not export goods
forgive me
they were taking advantage of us
so cunning
