The line between
The line between fucking
and killing is fine
as masculine ego.
For it is easier to cram
a blade inside a man’s body
than talk to it
with kindness and caress.

Author's Note
This is a fragment that was supposed to be part of a much longer piece about homophobia and the masculine fear of being emotionally vulnerable.
I couldn’t get that poem out - when I tried to it felt too preachy and prosaic - but I felt that this fragment was interesting enough to stand alone.

You've encapsulated perfectly why so many demonstrate violence out of fear toward others living their truth.
This may be a part of another work; just not yet.

i feel an uninhibited unleash in all roughened rawness & yes, that violence in a sword sharp intimately abrading exressionism.. sensualisnm & sexism spills such .. as this masculine ego.. as is present in any bodily being.. the masculine & feminineb elemenyts within do~ crave their own elements in their slots- separaete or overlapping or whatever the mysterious mix of expressionism is in the breathing ..juz me :) one of a fine minimalism read that is loaded heavy .. write on :)
