Analysis of Androgyny

Heather Lydia Thornhill 1981 (Manchester)



The man I had in mind writing your words
turned out to be a women.
I considered how I didn't realise and oh yes I thought I'm a women.
Then I thought but I understand women.
Then I realised I've loved women at least for a short time.
Sometimes I really try to dress like a "women".
Often I hear the soul has no gender so its not just women.
Then I hear it's both devine genders, including feminine women.
So I ponder, aren't we all androgynous women.
Then I realise Gods a little more creative than that so I remember women with free will.
Thus I ask is it a feeling or a choice to be a women?
And how long does it last this womenhood?
Is it self, karmic, lifetime or long term love of women.
Which one of these is androgynous to a women?
How androgynous are you, women?
