Migraine static gender

 Migraines lead to strange dreams 

I slept and dreamed of strange monstrosities, hideous creatures

tangled in the arms of conventional beauties 


my gender is something like a magpie, something like an omen 

but though I have no tusks or claws 

I slouch, my belly hangs low, I am hirstute


Tangles of dark curling hair fall to my shoulders 

or float above my head


If you asked me to embrace a monster, 

my arms would be open wide 


if you called me a beauty 

I would hide my face in shame 

at the lie.
