Mrs. Cavendish and the Outlaw

The cross-dresser, the albino, the man who once had legs,

and so many others out there displaying their otherness—

Mrs. Cavendish, how long it took us to recognize they want

what we want, and how they must struggle. Some are brave,

many just silly or stupid, as we have been, and stumble

into daylight like things that have always lived underground.

To wish to be loved, and not be able to see where you’re going—

oh Mrs Cavendish, you know what I’m talking about.

So difficult for us to exit the mirrorless rooms we grew up in.

So difficult to know the dark, brotherly other in ourselves.
