Poem: my butch

images of
fluffy girly
bouncy licky
lezzie sexxx
permeate
videos
magazines
websites
pushing
straight male
fantasies
into
voyeuristic
overdrive

but
when you
gather me
effortlessly
in your embrace
and we make
confident
tender
fierce
love

it’s so
utterly
gloriously
powerfully
unmistakably

Queer

that
exploitative
male gaze
falters
then
withers
dejected
into
detumescent
nothingness

and
we have
our world
all to
ourselves

at long last
