Something in the way he moves, his grace, the
way he struts his stuff.
This I know, I want him, I want him in the worst
way; but my love for the Woman keeps me from
taking my man.
The Woman is here for me, as Mary was here for
God.
I shall descend upon her tonight in a glittering
display of astral affection and leave her with
an ancient mystery;
I am the holy trinity in search of a womb.

Thanks Diana. It does take an odd turn which is why I’m pleased with the comments it’s gotten. I was uncertain of it when I posted it. I love Meshell Ndegeocello. Her work is bold.

Thanks Teagan. I’m sorting through 35 year old draft, many of them placed out of order on purpose, I have no idea why.

Maybe seeing the past out of order will provide order to the present…
(Where did that come from? I’m too deep for myself this morning. More coffee…) Hugs.

You’re right. Dissociative alternates are defense mechanisms. The alternate that wrote during the AIDS epidemic mixed the pages to protect me from reading about it. Reading the pages out of order mitigates some of the pain of remembering which does bring order to the present. Of all of my work, the writing I’ve done everything to avoid is the writing about AIDS. You were spot on, Teagan.
