Ostara was a festival of Spring’s hope.
Queers, please show up; let them see your face at home.
Make them hear the music; be your bestest self.
Dust “change hearts & minds” from last century’s shelf.
They’ll see the heartbreak in the shine of our eyes.
Empathy will inoculate them to lies.
News is like sipping from a firehose these days.
We are feeling hunted in so many ways.
It is time to give voice to anxiety.
Commit our importance to society.
