QUEERING THE GAME OF LIFE: "A Litany for Survival", Audre Lorde
For those of us who live at the shoreline
standing upon the constant edges of decision
crucial and alone
for those of us who cannot indulge
the passing dreams of choice
who love in doorways coming and going
in the hours between dawns
looking inward and outward
at once before and after
seeking a now that can breed
Forever inspiring. Audre. Forever reminding us—at our most critical moments—”poetry is not a luxury.”
