She Seems

He wants to meet her badly

desperate is he to forge an intimate union

with the woman he daily worships.

He, becomes she, and she slaps

some skin upon his bony face,

time for him to leave, and for she

to join the human race.

He has succumbed to the she skeleton,

he’s touching the mystery of the she

who has been secretly serenading the he.

From silently within the bones and the flesh,

cells and blood.

Sheltering the she, of the miss understood.

 

He into she is so much more

than she appears to be,

and constantly she dreams

of being set free.

This though is dependent

upon the strength of her inner reality.

She is so much more

than her vulnerable carcass,

yet all her admirers can do

is offer up to the she

a guess.

I can see why this would be well received live

The he she thing really works. "Sheltering the she, of the miss understood." is great in context. The work has a very weird affect, anatomical yet personal, almost a live dissection! A personal thing, I detest the use of bold and italics, maybe you were trying to capture that live feel but I think it only takes away from its stream as read. cheers, Jess
