half man and half amazing, but a woman raised him
what’s in a last name and was my mother really a maiden?
what’s in this word, ‘the virgin’ ?
I find it quite disturbing
they are not territory to be crossed
they are a person
so many died in birth when
our brains became a burden
the medulla in the hands of our doula
it got bigger - oblongata
that’s why I’m in my head
if my body is a temple
it’s to all the gods that are dead

it’s to all the gods
that are dead
if my body is a temple

you can steal a look but you’ll never own it
you can take a photo but the focus won’t expose it
you can make a sweet deal but i’ll never sign it over
and I don’t know where it goes when my life is over
I hope it’s made of light
and its solar travels know no boundaries
who had it before me and how did it find me?
was it in the seed or did it need the egg to be?
am I a we?
