biologically
cursed as a man
restless feminine
his honor he could
not forsake
his ancestry
his namesake
hijra grew tits
on a barren branch
that could never break
the hijra became a woman
for fuck sake keeping
humanity all awake
androgynous
no menstrual
machinations
no pregnancy
no headache
neither man
nor woman
a thirst to slake
an original
but also a fake
neither this
neither that
so much at stake
the hijra passion
molten lave
an earthquake
a creation
within a creation
make no mistake
the hijra serpentine
bitter sweet
poison unlike a snake
causing havoc
a million
heartache
lucid fluid
also opaque
testicular fortitude
turned into tragedy
a castrated
catastrophe
a jailbreak
cleopatra like
tempestuous
seductress
conniving
a keepsake
smiling at god
in sheer
thankfulness
for the golden
handshake

pride of the hijra race hijdaeroticness dignity and grace
