How can I be sex
Straddling
Rose lips and cropped
Hawkfaced
Hair like otter fur
Moving invisible between
Strut and slink
Hidden places soft beneath
Hard words
My nakedness is freedom
Without defining wrappings
Unshelved and moving real
Intertwining complex
Conflicted
Outside demands that i
Am untethered to
Beyond tongue ties breathing
Unseen before you
// Eoten
Inconvenience beats
Louder than my proud heart
Words like wings wait too late
Under thundering frowns
Content to keep skin-deep
Gazes my mazes mist
My eyes two-way mirrors
Covering their comfort
// Eoten
The devil loves their children
Brilliant creatures diverse
Tempestuous
Delicious difference of form
Of song and appetite
Unbound beings winged and horned
Scaled beneath skin
Ungainly imposters
Fearsome
Fulfilled in earth and magma
Waterfall spaces
Blood altars beneath branches
Scratched sigils
Doorways and designs
Unspeakable
Alien attempts
We are the shadow’s gifts
The breakers of chains
The enders the speakers
We know the pathways of death and madness
Death and courage
Trickster kin and night spawn
The great wings of the moon enfold us soft
As we sleep in sunlight
Dreaming new magic into life
// Eóten
I just cut my hair short again, and it’s amazing how powerful something so simple can be.
