HERE LIES A QUEER [180.44] ((8))
HERE LIES A QUEER

         after Amanda Gorman

That hill we die on will be blood stained
with the miscarriage of justice,
just us breaking through the silence
for those muted by dogmatic bigotry,
that gift from generations bound
by hatred and fear. Hear us
when we say queer. Hear us
when we shout queer. Bury us
with the epitaph HERE LIES A QUEER.
We will clap back from the graveyard.

Kåre Enga [180.44] (25.mai.2023)

10 lines free verse

"Poet Amanda Gorman spoke out after her poem The Hill We Climb, which she recited at President Joe Biden's presidential inauguration, was removed from an elementary school in Miami-Dade County, Florida."
