Stevie Smith: I Remember


UK - A couple kiss beneath a tree in St James's Park in London with the trees showing Autumn colours. By @photogator96 #AFP

It was my bridal night I remember,
An old man of seventy-three
I lay with my young bride in my arms,
A girl with t.b.
It was wartime, and overhead
The Germans were making a particularly heavy raid on Hampstead.
What rendered the confusion worse, perversely
Our bombers had chosen that moment to set out for Germany.
Harry, do they ever collide?
I do not think it has ever happened,
Oh my bride, my bride.

 
Stevie Smith (1902-1971): I Remember, from Not Waving but Drowning, 1967

ransvestites prepare backstage before performing a traditional dance opera known as Ludruk on October 30, 2016 in Surabaya, Indonesia. Indonesia's LGBT community has been under a wave of attacks since the beginning of 2016 while the country's ministers had described transgenderism as a mental disorder, and gay sex had been criminalized, as well as nonmarital heterosexual sex. In Mojokerto, a traditional dance opera group called Ludruk Karya Budaya continues to be an art form, performed by transvestites who play female roles while adding a touch of comedy. Consisting of 18 transgenders in group, each of them earn up to Rp 150,000 ($15USD) per show since the act began May 29, 1969 in Mojokerto, East Java. Homosexuality and gay sex are not illegal in Indonesia but the world's largest Muslim country has been increasing meeting intolerance from the Indonesian public.
