'unspeakable' timothy r gates 4/2001, and first completion 7/22/2008

unspeakable
but spoken
forgiven, told to
forget
but haven't
boys don't
girls do
boys dare not say they were
'courage, courage,' my people
Gaia sings of a dance,
free to join, if we dare
boys and girls know this choreography
xenophobia, i pray,
becomes xenophilia.
at sixteen was told,
but i don't,
every step, this dance i've joined
unspeakable
but spoken
forgiven,
i have, i do,
but, yes, i remember.
This is the kick in my step.
axios!
