Hi, I'm Mónica Gomery.
I am a poet and a rabbi, and this is my poem, "Might Kindred." This poem comes from a longing to be known and to feel close. I wrote it after moving to a new city and starting to make some new friends there.
I think we too often consider desire, especially queer desire, to be only sexual or romantic, and I wanted to write a poem that explores the other kinds of intimacy we might yearn for, including friendship, divinity, language, and beauty.
