HERMAPHRODITE
Written by Michael Woodhead Copyright © 1969, 2023
Upon the night-wind blowing I hear a death-filled sigh From someone lost and wand'ring Someone about to die
I pass between the willows And weep as I defy The portals of the DeathRoom The end of Life is nigh
Within the sombre blackness I hear a shrill, high call It summons me to wander Within a hallowed hall
I enter, then, to blackness Upon the floor I sprawl My ears perceive a cry Which makes my skin, now, crawl
I see within the blackness A pair of glowing lights They travel closer to me I see in the moonlight
A man who is a woman Endowed with second-sight For, standing there before me-- A nude hermaphrodite
