Big Muscles and Delicate Jewelry
I saw Wendy
at Whole Foods
I didn’t understand what I saw
at first
and the human joy welled in me
before my slow, simple brain
made the connection
Wendy
A man in earrings
A beautiful man
in earrings and make up
hair done just so – but for the wisps
frustratingly out of place
as she greeted and rang people through
Big muscles and hands
delicate jewelry
both were her costumes
neither were her.
neither were him.
I’m so glad I saw it,
I’m so glad my heart was open.
Wendy.
