What a beautiful message! You evoke some wonderful feelings with these words. Sometimes knowing that someone is thinking of you is as comforting as if you were in their embrace.

Thank you FC...very true! :-)

great write

Thank you FF :)

The conscious mixing of subject and object case pronouns is a way of developing a dominance/sub pattern and embroiling the reader in the fray.  Him and I is such a case.  Object, he and Subject/Her...this is taking the patriarchy by the hand and tossing it over a cliff.

I'm wanted for something
I can give to him as he is

The cure then, the undoing of the malformation of the cultural bind we are in, is to be seen as you are.  Kelly Oliver says we must re-invent the idea of feminism  by asking what it means to be human.  Instead of seeing each other in an idealized way, a take it as it comes approach is  a huge step in that direction.  Instead of fetishism we see humans as being who they are, facets of human experience.  This poem, I think, places us on that map.

content in our union
it's just him and I

To deconstruct the truncation:

He is just himself, and I am just who I am, and this gives us a union (versus an intersection) which is more realistic and tenable.

In this way the object/subject paradigm is destroyed and the pleasure is in being more together than apart, real partnership.

You blow me away Chris...I appreciate you reading and commenting...you're insight is always welcome! Thank you ;)
