| A Woman in Suit |
| When I was a child I thought that bulldaggers wore suits in such a way that rivaled Sinatra turning my ten year old head entranced, fascinated by the sexiness and glamour of a masculine woman Ten years later I come out finding the underground lesbian bar searching for the suits of my youth to find softball teams, soft faces with feathered hair beautiful but we never matched I didn't fit in low cut forties dress cuban heels so I kept searching Moving across states falling in love with the cut of a suit on my self on my lover I see all the rainbows of women gorgeous and powerful in all ways inside, outside and all around I see you rarely in a suit and I know that it was always women that turned by head made me look the suit just told me they were looking back. |
