T, a poem by Willow James

T

for Trey Phillips

from an ally

I want to ask you something

but

no need to answer

keep it to yourself

or whoever you’ve created yourself to be

which one required more–

T or trusting me?

with each injection

and new progression

I saw you

did you see you?

thank you for letting me see you

transition

transform

teach

triumph

try not to be defined

you taught me

how to teach myself

and be myself

here’s to you

Willow James
