Roles … too long we’ve been tangled up in roles.
Masculine, feminine, woman, man, interlocked,
symbiotic, fragile and unreal.
Unreal outside of our embraces
and the ego treasures we both carried off.
Today, with acid whispering in my ear I looked
at this … us.

I’m not comfortable outside our enclaves…
what is there of us
if we stop our male/females dances?

Clear eyed, we considered it and, hopefully,
opened a deeper way.

Consciousness, let us break our role chains.
