Bundled against the
cold wind
We sat on concrete
benches
Watching eighteen
yellow balloons
Held in a bronzed
Anne Frank’s hand
Speakers told
personal stories
And remembered 240
souls
Transgendered
persons killed this year
Eighteen of them in
the U.S.
People brutally
murdered
For being who they truly
were
People with lives
and loves and dreams
Why? Why did this happen?
Why can’t we accept
differences?
One by one candles
were lit
And balloons gently
floated upward
Reminding us to
never forget
And to spread love
not hate
