in uniform my gender
circles
around chromosones that
echo into misconception walking on wet
quiet pavements
anonymous
in androgynous night
names change
I watch David's grey curl
like a constellation a sky
dance across his face as he works
I think
about the woman I love
that loves me
I take the train home but i'm home
as I watch strangers throw their fists
into the faces
of other strangers
I think
about the woman I love
that loves me
how the sound felt dulled
heavy after the adrenaline left
the pain the bloodshot eye
I think
about the woman I love
that loves me and the dry
noises of human violence

dance across his face as he works...what a cool second you capture there...and the refrain, and the dry sound of human violence..whew...nice write cat...
Cat, powerful, almost-disturbing write. Very well done with the refrain about "the woman I love..." Happy New Year.
I felt this grew stronger as it went on, until almost unbearable at the end.
Wow, such strong gritty writing - you had me right there with you
A lot of interesting moments here and great intensity. k.
Yes this is powerful and I agree that it got stronger as it went on. I love the repetition. Nicely done!
Strong and true statements ... wonderful write ... got goos bumps now, cat. Love, cat :)
