Halved

Crackling stars in the sky
Casting electronic light
Circulating leaving astrological
Questions pondering my parturition
Maybe I was meant to be a woman
But I’m not giving up my manhood
So I’ll be a domestic mouse
Not too demanding if you
Feed me cheese and peanut butter
Put a tuxedo on me and I’m actually
A man of good measure
Fought hard to be this boy
And even a garçon one might say
I can serve you up an ice cream
Before it all melts away
I’ll build things like shelves and
Sparks in your heart
Even hammer out belts
Put food on the table
Pull the sheets off make the bed
Take care of you always
It’s a woman’s work they say
No hill is too high
Warm up your blue
Dry the water in your eyes
Might be a man’s job too

As a Woman

If I came back as a woman
Would you love me
Would you want me
Do women that live here now
Have a better chance than I
If I came back as one
Would you notice me
Would you want to be
Close to me
Like I want to be close
To you now
Maybe I’m being too vague
Not enough likes
Not looking for likes
Looking for love
As a man

Therapy

She says that she
Is an empath
She isn’t picking up on
My signals

Assuming incorrectly
She doesn’t ask
She is making
A decision
To get better

Might as well
I mean hell
It’s much more comfortable
In therapeutic congregation
Than having
An uncomfortable
Conversation about it
In real life
Truth serum
Is too blatant

No one wants to be called out

Nowhere to hide
From the furrow

Embrace the woman
You’re becoming
And not the child
You used to be

Lest ye burrow

Caught up in wanting
To do something about it
Rather than just doing it is

A contradiction
If you’re tongue tied with
The people standing
In front of you
Who want to understand you
Who want to love you

Help me find the cure for you
Like a medicine woman
Healing every cell
Of your alcove
