Best Poems Written by Maya They Them

love language

idioglossia
noun, synonym to cryptophasia: it is my favorite word
a private language that is born of we
meeting in the middle and hiding in plain sight
red underline
the beat cop autocorrect strikes a tender word out, unable to translate, but we prevail
it has reached the point we can communicate in hieroglyphics
(“?????”
                   “????”)
speech has transcended sound (you squeeze the syllables of our alien ‘good morning’ into my hand)
a plunse of devotion and a
squoing of love,
mix it together for a gwingy of happiness in these grungly-ass times
there is no way these meeps will enter a dictionary but our own
but, my emelent, my aminal, my ingrebient, they are inscribed on my heart.
