This duality Midway In all kinds of ways A once blurry binary What was it she said to you? As lovers entwined An uncanny queer cadence What is it you wanted from me? Waning Waxing Stasis and immobility An impossibility As long as I encompass Both worlds Your deep, earthen safety And desperate need to take flight Her delicate, flicking tongue And luscious fleshy thighs The multiverse imaginings An infinity of longings Of 0s and 1s Slowly and steadily written in code Of rhythm and space Of gravitational pull Of dark matter Oh I am a scholar of that! Yet I remain Waxing gibbous Silhouetted Dripping white light Across the jet black sky
