people carted away
bloodied
by sneering police
and right wing boots
re-living Stone Wall
How surprising, then, for
my sister, my aunt
that mother and I
are not alone
our partners and we
hold hands
not met with shaking fists
She sees the world
through
rigid jaw and tense shoulders
unthinkable
a pastor may march
with homo
believing one equals another
How surprising change
revelations in human spirit
belong to others, too
and evolution
disrupts stagnant
history
