Daily Poem: As is Man, As is Woman

I think there should be more public occasions

for dancing, and I think we should

call men beautiful as easily as we do women.

When, as a dreamy adolescent I imagined

the love who would abide with me always

he was (in spirit, in body, in word, incredibly)

beautiful. As is man, as is woman, simply.

And now, dancing, I see that I am strong,

simply, as is man, as is woman. And I think,

how I love being a woman, and how I love

my abiding man, and how silly we are

to be shy and how, still dancing, I might say

You are beautiful, and I am strong,

as is man, as is woman, simply.
