SEXUAL HEALING

  
"Why Are We Here?"

To remind the clan of connection to spirit
the infinite
something other than peanut butter

Not every man who licks men
is a priest
two-spirit creature

Some are
drag queens and sex radicals
the artists

At the fringes
where the homemakers turn back
is where we start the trip

We say:
don't attach to one image
of yourself
think you're a man and men act this way?
put on a wig
honey
tell me what you think

We say:
sex is union with
dissolving all boundaries
of time and space what we're made for
to connect bliss of flesh with 
the mysteries
you can have this 
a lot
call if promiscuity if you must
people who go to church every day
are after the same thing

If you think money is
most important or
your job or
what people think of you
have sex to orgasm
and then
tell me what you think
