Abstract
‘YOUR silence violates US with violence because by nature OUR love is quiet’ is a poem that uses the archetypes of heroes and villains to explore the dichotomy of good and evil by revealing their arbitrary symbolism in the face of adversity. This poem speaks to my lived experience as a queer, Black, neurodiverse man living in the United Kingdom. These words are a distinct amalgam of British, Caribbean and African cultural identities within the diaspora.
