(no title)

Many years ago, before we ever met
We crossed paths hurtling through space
Before we ever held each other
We held our own blueprints
A tangle of helices, so-called prophecies
That was all we were

But as the cards were being dealt
For reasons yet unknown
Maybe a simple genetic snafu
You took my Y and I took your X

Now I wish you’d take the rest of me
The flesh of me
Love it like I never could
From this point of view

I’d do the same for you, my love
Were that a privilege of ours
But if that day won’t come, still
We have the comfort of one another

We have nothing to hide
Lights on or lights off
“Before” or “After”, and throughout
We have everything to share

And when we get close enough
Undressed enough
We become a body collective
No parts are cursedly mine
Or tragically yours
We feel beautiful, impossibly beautiful

Because that affirmation
That which everyone deserves
Was out of the question
Until we lay down together
Flesh collides, juices flow
Sexy… Se(xx)(xy).
