How Stany Became Sarah (haikus)
by Anne EngelenBorn into this world
Looking like a normal man
She was imprisoned
Trapped in his body
Solitary confinement
Been sentenced for life
Breaking out of there
Was all she ever thought of
She changed destiny
Not only his name
But also bodily features
Changed by surgery
He is now Sarah
Somewhat of a curiosity
But her soul's at peace!
