Changes Come Over Me

Coming tomorrow, a total eclipse

of the Sun,

last of the century, last of the old Millennium,

time for the new Seed to be planted

in Leo

in the soil of my natal Pluto,

trine apex T-square Mars in Sag

—and so many prophecies we hear,

but I am not waiting for prophecy—

I am all high-charged pulsing energy,

my self definition transmuting before my eyes’ surprise;

I am hurled out of my lifelong monogendered male

conditioning—

Eros is pumping through me,

a thrill like an electron jumpin’ its track & photonizing

hyperactives this flesh when I affirm what I now am:

both male & female

in one body I am—

A femme walk-in

enters this male template

so that suddenly a transgendered liberation of desire

comes over me,

and such exhilaration & pleasure I take in it,

to play uninhibitedly in this creative Fountain

where all is possible, mutable, electric, unchecked, experimental,

inspired thought become act, making new, originary,

whizz & bang & pop—

It comes, I go with it, a freedom to flow, a pouring forth,

unafraid, the hidden become revealed,

glad is soul—

The Sun & Moon will marry, tomorrow,

& I now put forth my prophecy—

They will produce unheard-of new children

through me...
