My brother’s hesitation
by thereisnosurvivorsguide
the sudden hesitation in my brother’s voice when he is telling me about loving women
the way he would talk to my other brothers about women
the way he talks to his friends
“I can’t talk to you about this, it’s weird.”
we dance around my sexuality as if it’s the thing always making everything weird
a women loving woman
Woman
and suddenly he realizes that I am a woman
.
. what’s weird for him is that he respects me
