Jaha Zainabu - I'm Writing To Tell You

For Leelah Alcorn

Leelah
Leelah
For the way your name
Gives my mouth permission to sing and smile
Leelah
I will call you a girl
A she

I will sew a dress in your honor
I am sorry you had no place you felt comfortable
Falling your shoulders
Humming your butterfly of a name
Fingering your path through this sand of a world
What an ending to the beginning of your life
Your life
Yours
I will listen
As tribute to you
I will care

I will cry
I will fling these useless tears to sky
I will why for you
I will how come in your stead
I will pull hair and hold heart for you
For you and the next boy or girl
Who feels trapped in this box of an earth
Judgements too rigid
Rules too tightroped to tippy toe
Leelah, sweet Leelah
Rest, Leelah
Fly
