FebulousFebruary 2025: Lost and Found

Boy be you 

Be the curly floppy hair and big boots 

Be the hidden 

Inside porkpie hats. 

Be the barricade of smoke 

of the red and white box. 

Hide for this while to keep 

you safe 

You can’t say all the 

words yet 

But out will come Someday soon. 

Boy treat your woes with 

dreams of what could be 

Channel the worry down 

a tunnel 

Holding on until the end 

You won’t waste time 

You won’t like it for a while 

But boy the light will 

heal you 

As the big boots step out 

into the light and swap for 

heels. 

As the flopping curly hair is 

ready for bleaching sprayed 

with glitter. 

As the smoky barricades 

become fresh air to breath 

and make you live. 

Boy be more gentle for now 

you will get there 

Boy keep safer than you 

have been. 

Hold tight.
