I have a name but too often I have been rendered nameless.
Me too.
I have a voice but too often my voice has not been heeded.
Me too.
I have a shape but too often my body has been leered at or made invisible.
Me too.
All these acts.
To make a person.
This person
Disappear.
And yet.
I have a name
And a voice
And a body.
Together, in the midst of the others, I make myself present and available for all survivors and our collective surviving.
Me too.
Me too.
And
Me too.
