When We Stop Centering Cis Men
Sojourner “Hughes” Davidson
A cis man
Could never hold life in his hands
In the way AFAB folks can
Not all women can give birth
Cis or trans
But many women give life
In a way, most men could never do
Women give
Gently and fiercely
With patience and care
Carrying life
As a precious thing
A fragile essence
In need of tending
Why discuss
What a cis man can’t do
Why pretend
What if we centered life
Instead of the powerful men?
