POEM



Felt previously for you
what only in the moment knew
was a particular sort of fear.
What I held above was neither

your body nor any perception of it
but another woman you allowed
to sleep there, her physical force
such that I had neither strength

nor will to defend myself. Then
with a mere reversal of light
you return alone to a male form
now merely in attendance

as when from window nearest yours
I heard the sharp rises of breath
that meant you both knew
exactly what body you were in.
