Monthly Us

January brought us together

February we braved stormy weather

March you took my hand we got "gay" married

April we moved in, and it was me you carried

May our little angel we adopted

June he was the light of our life we both co-opted

July your birthday suit

August as a family we were pretty cute

September you died...

October the whole month I cried

November we did our best to be happy

December couldn't help ourselves from being sappy

January it's easier than december

Febuary I'll make sure our son will always remember

March that you loved in dearly

April but angels in heaven needed you more, clearly

BG Story: Gay couple get together, get married, adopt and one dies. It's sad I guess but at the same time it feels hopeful. It's just a short poem really about loss and how things can move so quick in a few years. This was kind of loose in terms of dates. The months weren't nessicarily one after another but possibly years apart maybe once a year the guy that remains alive kept a journal and this was the result, a documentation of their life together or lack of it in one of their cases. I put quotation marks over the word gay because I'm tired of the word being used infront of marraige. Nobody get's straight married so it's offensive to use gay married. So I kind of used it in a way to show people how awkward it looks and how wrong it is to say gay married. So yeah those are my two entries, both very different but similar at the same time. Not perfect but it's as good as I can do right now :) hope you like them.
