Sapphic Spots Along San Francisco Bay
by Zoie Burt
1. Oyster Point
pearly highs & moonlit eyes
they tend to sing a lullaby
to tempt me to tempt her
tiptoe & whisper
unfurl a new leaf
one sigh of relief.
2. Pier 15
when we’re older & wiser
more allowed to go there
we can sing a coast of desire
whirl water on fire
mouth parted in wonder
as the world tears asunder:
3. Lands End
All Else Can Be Entropy
while we
us forever
stay {together.}
