Make Way


With thousands of knives
and daily denials of his life
they slashed at her existence

 "Your hair is wrong
your gait is wrong 
your gender is wrong
your place of birth is wrong
your religion is wrong 
your love is wrong 
your skin is wrong 
your job is wrong 
your lack of a job is wrong 
your language is wrong
your lack of a language is wrong
your existence is not real"

Slash. Cut. Slice. Erase.

But 
She will not be erased. 
He will not go away. 
They Are.

 Make Way.
