Mary and Emma, Leadworks – Theatre Room, Stonehouse, Plymouth, UK

I want to be real
Standing before you naked

My trans love
form complete
myself, a woman, complete

Our left hands pressed together
where I can feel your hand on mine, mine on yours
you the same
lips on you – you to me
you the same

I want to step out from you
into this abyss
a witch
to cherish and protect you
to walk and lie beside you

To take you home with us

I long for us to leave
home, our elsewhere

To walk side by side, together

– I love you Mary, I love you Emma
