I am We.

Intolerant hearts
Aching with mercy's
Shuddering compunction
Learning to release
Uneasy Inhibitions
Momentary stretching
Elastic horizons,
Then withdrawal,
A Springing back
To distraught rigidity.
Fluid flexibility
Exhausted
Like tautness
Of flesh.

Intolerance rampant
Rage of the amygdala
Keeping us trapped
In distracting warzone
Patriotism' feather fine
Delineated boundaries
Keep on making
Never ending
New otherness.

Differentiate.
Separate.
Hemorrhage.
Detonate.

In your hangover
Of horrors
Lying in your own
Safe haven
Licking ugly wounds
Guilty tongues
Lash and lacerate
Silences.

Forget viscosity
Of venom
See each gorgeous
Sacred babe
Lying in easy
Posies.

Blood blooming flowers
Of  a sane moment
Of tolerance.

They accommodate
Two separate genomes
Classes, cultures
Sub stations
In one nonpareil
Existence.

Ne plus ultra
I'm really uneducated
Uncouth
And they are
Really
Wise Magis
Eternity's wayward
Angels.

Is it
Difficult
To combine two
Diverse things?

Two divergent minds?

Two separate bodies?

Love making
We do it
Everyday
Casual
Causal
Intensity.

But
Our
Insurgent
Insular  lives
Were made
Effortlessly
Out of the
Mitosis and meiosis
Of our differences.

How much of my mother
Can't you tolerate
Dear Father?

In my veins
You're both
One and the same

Sublimated
Essence.

Ecstasy
Of union.

Epiphany
Of transmigration.

We're all
Humanity.

We're all
Life.

We are
Petty
Majestic
Eternal Conflicts
In resolution.

Let us rejoice
Sing off key
Verging outside
Neat circles
To edgy incompletion's
Spiralling ascents.

Celebrate Differences.

That merge.

To unite.

In Love.
