be a man
legs open
like a dog’s tongue
on a hot day
panting and pantless
be a man
looking at the sun
eyes closed eventually
after imprinting it
with night
be a man
wanting to be a woman
to understand what
she wants you to be
as a man
be a man
who doesn’t recognize he’s a man
just that he is
full and him
reflecting the world back
though no mirror is large enough
be a man
failing to thrive
because there’s too many men
making too many other womb mans
be a man
stopping tears from falling
by falling from tears
into the puddle of
whatever’s left
be a man
who considers other
men unmanly
be a man
finding an ending
not looking back
