Portals - IV. Gynandromorph by Rebecca Larkin published on 2013-10-27T17:14:18Z Gynandromorph Beneath your flesh, fused nerves of cock and id would gorgonize if I was naked, you wouldn’t advert your eyes, roll them back into your head and mull over my chromosomes in your mind am I he/she or it— mitosis atypically split bewilderingly beautiful like mosaic’d wings of butterflies sterile and abundant with self-perpetuating poison and if the sky is made of glass and the ceilings can’t be broken let my wings p i e c e p i e c e p i e c e at their veins and glitter down to you inertia’d in authority & ignorant to the force of femininity outside of biology—I am still a woman if somehow you can’t see. - Elese Daniel YoonGeong Lee, soprano Rachel Zapata, piano Recorded on August 9th, 2013 at the College-Conservatory of Music Genre Contemporary Classical
