Full Stop.

I want to run with music bouncing in both ear drums.

I want to leave the car unlocked when I get in.

I want to be free to speak without accusations of hysteria.

I want to have sex without projected sin.


I want to leave my drink safely unattended.

I want to walk to work without feeling like I'm for sale.

I want to not have to check behind me,

in case there is someone lurking in the shadows,

waiting to hear me beg.


I want to sleep with my windows open in any season.

I want to leave my pin unlocated without thought.

I want to speak freely without fear of being beaten.

I want to not be manhandled

within my own skin.


But most of all,


I want to never have to fight bravely,

with fierce love in my heart,

as I see death calling me,

gravely

before leaving

with the only thing I have left...




grace.
