An Arabian Knight in Eden

Another name will be inscribed
across the false and empty tomb
the ones who hurt you choose.
You were, however, so much more
than just a girl without a womb,
or just an ex-inhabitant of one,
like those who came in love sickened
to give you hope and then snatch it,
a cruelness of the vile pit
behind a lot of hearts.
You were, and are, a fallen Knight
with Eden's flaming sword across your back,
astride a glowing horse, a unicorn
of love that has not been sickened,
has not been fed on silicon, and bills,
and concrete heads with concrete mouths
arrayed around the troughs of Washington DC.

And all oppressed when looking up
will see you on that unicorn, a Knight of stars,
ascended much too soon.

Rest in Power, Eden Knight

From The Independent: "The US government is investigating the apparent suicide of a Saudi Arabian transgender woman who says she was coerced by her family into leaving the US, according to reports.

Eden Knight, 23, posted a suicide note on Monday alleging that her parents had hired American "fixers" to help bring her back to the authoritarian kingdom and force her to detransition.

She said the fixers introduced her to a Saudi Arabian lawyer in Washington DC who slowly made her dependent on him for "food and shelter" while pressuring her to live as a man, leading her to suffer a mental breakdown and acquiesce to her family's demands."
