Lesbian No More

Location

Dear Lesbian,
 
Your entire life is deemed sinful,
So don’t love, don’t live, don’t breathe.
 
Reimburse the heart your
Mother gave you and whatever you’ve
Done under covers, stop it. I
Doubt it’s righteous.
 
Every breath you’ve inhaled and exhaled,
Release back into the air.
 
For breathing in “straight air” is
A sin as well.
 
Make no tribute to any hearsay
And speak up in no debates.
 
For your opinion means nothing
More than the dirt on the floor
Until you’ve become lesbian
No more.
