My Gender
my gender is open to my interpretation
my gender is shy and eager
it is strength and tenderness
There is an ocean of depth and shores to wash up on
my gender is a horizon unattained
and also the culmination of a journey
my gender unfolds, splits, combines and expands
my gender is wise and naive
my gender doesn’t need your approval
doesn’t need a name you can hold on your tongue
my gender doesn’t need to be seen to exist
my gender welcomes and invades
it holds and expels
my gender seeks its own level
