Pink-Haired Sister Tanka

reading between the lives and writing between the lines, I

but you're a girl ...
my pink-haired sister
stands firm
with her legs apart
urinating before Father



Addedreading between the lives and writing between the lines, II

(a closet gay)
no longer a Catholic ...
my friend walks
out of the church backwards
while gazing at the altar
