I admire the skill with which you put together words and create images that linger in my mind. While reading this poem I felt many emotions wash over me. The primary one was grief, especially in the section where you listed the names of trans women who had been murdered. Another was awe at how you and other trans people continue on in a world where many people choose not to (or believe that they cannot?) accept you as you are.
