Songs in T-Minor - 4. Man

he’s hot, the guy in the photograph

muscular

the right side of hairy

scars from his top surgery

just barely visible

he’s a man

a real, actual man

and i can’t tell if

i want him

or want to be him

 

will i ever look like that?

my face

so soft and feminine

will it ever harden?

can i become

what he is?

what i want to be?

is it what i want to be?

 

his face

arms

chest

hands

 

man

Inspired by a photo in a series on transgender people in, I think it was Bulgaria (or Romania?) that was exhibited at this year's Pride Art at Oslo Pride.

and i can’t tell if i want him or want to be him

This cuts to the heart of the yearning that flows through this poem, and which surrounds me still.

Thank you, Parker. These are difficult feelings to process. And the world is so full of conflicting ideas, opinions and messages. It helps to write things down.

Desire and confusion weave together, and a sorting is needed. I appreciated your comment to Parker about writing things down to help process them. Well written with a clear message. Thank you.
