blood

 

my blood is not woman’s blood

my name is not a male name

i am a damsel in distress

turned a hunter

my name before forgotten

i am undefined by simple reasoning

i am the first daughter and the last son

the only sibling to a sibling

i am not a man so i must be a woman

i am not a woman so i must be a man

i must love those i love not

and hate those who are understanding

I must be weak and strong

warm and freezing

and never active

and never smiling or laughing
