Poem - Transalive

[kokopelle]

Trans may be defined as “across”, “beyond”, or “through”. The poem “Transalive” follows these thoughts.


Transalive

What you see
belies identity’s diametric
what I feel
confirms integrity’s antithesis
what I desire
begs likeness’ antagonistic
not a lifestyle
deep down inside
this never far
from thoughts
that aspect of
desire not corresponding
to the conventional
assumed at birth
an alternative
at the polar end
seeking migration
to the other side.
