Dead cats still purr

 

 

At ten fifty seven pm I think I was buzzed by the spirts of all of my dead cats

And so I knew the world had turned, the wheel had moved on

That I had crossed into some strange new realm of the possible

I miss them  but wish them well

It is pleasing that they run together

In precisely the way that cats don’t.

My cats do.

One more individual who has been abused and is gay or trans or a sex worker is not evidence that childhood abuse is the cause, and yet the idea that people will say it is makes us terrified to discuss our own abuse histories openly lest they be used by bigots. This is compounded if our abusers were gay or trans or sex workers themselves, b
