Masculine sacredness
The most reassuring grip and calming hands I know of are masculine,
nothing is as forgiving, trusting and understanding as closeness with other men
- in every man I feel an Abraham living.
I dream of a reality where men says proudly
“I heal myself, I heal my brothers and heal my world”.
I want closeness and hugs without you padding my back
I want us to stand in silence and listen.
I yearn the hands belonging to you to hold mine
I will drown without them.
I know we can find divinity on earth
You don’t have to die for Mohammed, Jesus or Israel.
I hope my experiences, foolishness and wisdom will be in my skin
For you to touch.
I look within to build a bridge
Between X and Y.
I will tell the young about holiness
It’s presence between two men.
I seek attraction in
Wrestling with two naked bodies.
I remember you as a sun
Warming my cold body.
I can tell you everything about my universe
Only because it’s you.
I quest for a vision
How can we be the change we want to see?
I stand beside you
Against heartbreaks, aggressive women and destructive ideals.
I love
Finding peace in who we can be.
