Navigating the Fluidity of Gender and Spirituality

i found freedoms in the fluidity of amanzi 

waters seeped through the cracks of a performed gender (being)--

rejecting that only in only ‘he/she’ we can be

i dreamt of waters that surrounded & followed me to the depths of my subconscious 

dreams are the well I draw strength and sight from 

my ancestors hand-crafted my gifting & headhunted a realm for healing

water surrounds me, galeforce winds guide me

i am them, and we heal through my healing 

the wave came and oiled open the doors of transition,

& in the wind, they sound applause

amadlozi fondly see me as they and them

their love, the overflows the rivers of virtue kindness and trust 

lending myself to the superpower of true self gifts me with the joys of holistic being 

the drum heart beats as love-speak—a queering love language.
existing as an exchange of energies. 

tethering the waves of past present and future seeing 

in the motions of the ocean, we collectively gather the glitters of self that binary coerced us into leaving behind 

queer as the vast water droplets gathered in the pacific. 

i pacify no more, the extent to which I deserve to be seen 

sitting with self holds grace for all that is me -- in all of my queer fluidity 

imagine being queer & dlozical

transcending gender time and space

Questions to ponder 

1. How can dreaming be a portal for foresight?

2. How is gender performed in schools and communities?
