Tuesday

Is a rose naked or does it have just one 
dress? Es un truco sucio

para mantenernos separados. They divide our bodies

by gender, our clothes

by gender, and even my wandering fingers

find themselves wrapped in rigid, formal clothing that everyone seems to like

but me. Pero

Adán y Eva

no estaban avergonzados.

Then God gave us the Word.

Y dicen

que este es la razón porque

no podemos mirar a un otro,

y no puedo verte, para siempre.

So, dressed as nicely as we can, we look at one another 
through little windows
and hope the blinds
never close.
