bless the body that changes.
bless the body that changesÂ
reflecting divinity who changes,Â
the god who is change.*
bless the medical appointmentsÂ
the consultations
the schedulingÂ
the decision making
the surgery prep.
bless the operation
the hands and the toolsÂ
the nurses and hospital workersÂ
the post-op.Â
bless the ones who surround to extend care.
bless the meal trains
the excel sign upÂ
the errands and tasks
the gentle hugs and soft words.
bless the ability to receive care.Â
bless the rest
the recovery
the drainsÂ
the body restoring itself.Â
bless access to gender affirming healthcare.
bless those fighting like hell to protect and expand it.
bless the mutual aid networks
the crossing of state linesÂ
the travel supportÂ
the risk.
bless the life lived in courage and in truth.Â
bless the community who bears witness and affirms.Â
bless the healing.Â
bless the transition.Â
bless the body that changes,
the god who is change.Â
*Octavia ButlerÂ
