do you remember when you’d come in, get yourself washed up in my bathroom, and you’d tiptoe (you always tiptoed) into the living room where i would be reading a bedtime story to my little girl, so we could go on and have s***** fun and loving for the night? i loved you in those moments, when you’d come upon me being a great mom and just have this real authentic smile of loving who i was. i wish we could have more of those little moments. i loved you for those little moments. the big picture of who you were as a person never mattered to me. those little moments and the way you always made sure i was pleased s*******, not holding back any part of yourself, i love that. you’re the best man. you really are.

New Confession

A little snip, a little trim
To make the birdie sleek and slim
Mommy’s hand, a steady guide
With nowhere left for skin to hide

Cut away the wild and stray
To make my birdie, the Mommy way
Now it’s neat, now it’s small
Obedient to her every call.

The skin is gone, the line is straight
A sharp mark of a chosen fate
No more hiding, no more fold
Just the story Mommy told

A the sting of pain, a little red
Until the birdie’s peace is spread
Now it waits, a quiet thing
To hear the bell of Mommy ring.

No more veil, no more screen
The birdie stands, forever clean
A polished pearl, a steady sight
Held forever in Mommy’s light

A brand of love, her mark of grace
In this quiet, curated space
Now he waits, forever true
Doing everything Mommy wants him to.

I believe Mommy will find this poem a most fitting acknowledgment of her ownership of the birdie and me. I am happy to publicly thank Mommy for having my bird cut, trimmed, snipped and clipped. Thank you Mommy for having me circumcised.

if we are going to circumcise many of the boys in this country than it makes no sense to not perform a very similar and possibly less invasive surgery on girls where their prepuce is also cut a little for the same reasons.
