discovering Johnny Weir
was like receiving a winged messenger
who was sent to remind me
not to discard the most important parts of myself
whose value reminded me of my own
who helped me realize
I was not being fierce enough
with my own fabulousness
Special thanks to Nicole Davis, Johnny Weir Facebook fan,
who said most of these words to me in a chat window.
All I did was shape them into the poetry
that was in her heart
to begin with.
