How can I betray
Something that
Never was?
Never is
I know I can
I know I did
It was an act of
Preservation
of
Desperation
To return to myself
The piece of me that
You took
That I offered up
Back when I
Misread the
Situation
Tales of Black-Winged Night
a black, queer, adoptee's journey to self-love, self-expression, and freedom.
