My Perfect Androgyne
I read this in a book that I bought. And I just want to share it with you all. :)
And tell me who's the person that will come into your mind once you've read the whole thing. Ok?^^
I've posted this in LJ already ^^
My Perfect Androgyne
By: Trebor Healey
He hated being cute
Wanted to be tough
Pierced up and tattooed
Leathered and boot
With those big brown doggy eyes
He hated being cute
I assured him his body
Was anything but-
That lithe, snake-like chest
And that stingray of a belly,
Those athlete’s legs
And soothing sisterly hands,
And his tiny male -
That handsome, unmistakeably rough
As hard and undiscriminating
As the policemen’s billy clubs
That didn’t want his HIV status
Stopping traffic
I think of all the lives
It’s just run over
Unmistakeably rough
And I think of all the goddesses we need
To hold us and forgive us
Oh Mary, Mother of God
I never feel so close to you
Than when I’m in his thin androgynous arms
Under the gaze
Of those doggy eyes
