Outdated Concepts

who needs to know their gender identity

as the moon and sun compose the dance

felicitous and in harmonious balance to

the sound of non-binary revolutions

they transit sapiosexual fulfilment without

specification as to which one of them

takes the traditional lead in the ballet


unless you are German …

der Mond but die Mondnacht

die Sonne and der Sonnenaufgang

the rise and fall of the Third Reich

saved us from such linguistic confusion

because the is the for this that or other


stars and their charts are neutral

lie in the eye of the beholder

neither black nor white but colourblind 

as the night proceeds from dusk

and dawn calls in the day

metaphors proceed on eloquent tongues


I like your kisses and embrace your caress

and while opposites might attract

othering is not part of my repertoire

male female transgender bisexual

exceed heteronormativity in itself

gay lesbian queer does not determine

love kindness and compassion


feminine and masculine are labels

outdated and not always helpful

when solar and lunar

stand for what they are

and that is pure bliss
