Analysis of blue meets yellow
Leo Feraco 2002 (ontario)
Must we confess so soon
Whilst robes are still sulking
And you haven’t got the change
Back home
In your closet full of blue
Are books of photos
Of a guise
you waltzed out of or through
Son you’re still mourning
The sheath is sealed
But firmly at your hip
To grasp at ease
You remind me of your mother
Or rather, you once did

About this poem
I wrote this poem after looking at old photos of myself before I transitioned. This felt very bittersweet.
