::gendering the german language::

gender me gender me softly in a political way
take the very last of myself, of ourselves
men, women, male, female, shemale, shemen,
hemale, bemale, femen, hemen, wemen,
all in one human
amen, aman, feman
feels like right, feelmen, feelwomen,
feelright, feelleft, feelall, feelfall
gender me gender me again
we have justice to gender
feel right on the left
think left on the right
overthink your female side
and rest in peace without dying as a man
or as a child or as a world.
gender me gender me slowly
make my language the mother tongue of poetry
writing and spelling all-around the earth and the sky
silently whispering and screaming, trying to reach
the unspeakable the unbelievable the untouchable
gender me gender me absurdly
and try to save the world with wars
feels like right, feels like left,
feels like life, feels like loss
so stop fucking gendering me – the language
the symbols, pictures and thoughts of us all
stop spreading hate on female signs again
free the language, feel free, feel your soul,
it’s all in one, human
feel your fear
free your fear
we are all in one, a dying human
in a sleepy world gendering around
instead of overthinking it all
in a poetical way:
future is female
and all in one human.
