• Artist: CM_Valyn
• Description: During the Day of Silence, our class was asked to write an entry in response to a video we watched regarding gender identity/roles, & sexual orientation. Being Metis, I decided to write a piece through the perspective of a two-spirited individual.
  
  Consider a twelfth night situation in the modern twentieth century if you like. I imagined two people sitting across a table, a confrontation? I was curious what you guys thought of it, so I posted it here to be rated and commented on.

A narrative piece

~Crystal Light~

Quote:

~*~

"Two-Spirited."
The words issued from my lips with a gentle conviction.
You sit there silent, and I can see the storm of emotions that rage in your eyes.

Pain, confusion, anger, fear.

All weaving a most tumultuous web within the interval of a quasi-microsecond; each thread choking, inevitably castrating our once
conceivable epoch.

So many words to describe and define a thousand sentiments or more.
I understand.



Your beauty strikes awe in my heart

How I yearn to reach out with this one shaking hand of mine, bridge this ineffable rift
dividing you and I; to caress your cheek with more then
the eyes that merely trace
the exquisite features of your face; Familiarize touch to the slopes, curves, and line of lips, cheek, jaw, brow...
Feel the warmth, texture, friction as my fingertips
press, glide, and stroke your flesh beneath...

& revulsion.
I hate myself.
I'm all too aware that I am the fiend,
the cause of the hurt in that expression.
-Breathe.
Hesitate.-

I cannot yet allow myself to drown. Crumble under the weight of anxious uncertainty.

Pressure.
The time has come for me to speak.
Why then, can I not form the fanciful strings of meaning?
