Humane

Refreshed, like a new life

A new identity is attached to me,

A brand of trust, hope, longevity

Beyond petty differences, we are

Complete as one

Though in youth, dreams were

Nightmares

Laden with promises of fulfillment and greed

You've singled out the malignancy

And captured it; under the microscope of

Utter tyranny, it's been squelched and obliterated

Like an expert surgeon

And now I'm free

**

It would be singular to say you've changed the story

It has been fate itself, the very fabric of our biology

Changed, like a newborn species, locked in separation

From all others,

We still see them as ourselves, but we are locked into each other's eyes, and can only breath for the other

And when skin crosses skin, it's more alive

It's more pulsing

We are beyond human, and yet,

Incredibly, viscerally humane
