There’s physical death of a man,
and the death of a gay man,
Which is he being
cut off
from being gay,

or Bein’ a man
in every way.

Touching it
Daily
And, then, it begins to fade, a dying flower.
a dry tongue
no saliva
no blood.

I’m here to win it,
I’M here to make it.
I am going to be updating this poem

Don’t just rely on the clay, perse.

Live life
From the spirit,
Listen- to it.

There is no death
Only life
Or the lack thereof

Or there is only light or dark.
No time
but only space.

Everyone who was anyone is still,
Will always be with us.
Carole King is a part of me.
All of the remakes of King Kong are also me.
I am also The Women. A Star Is Born.
Hello Dolly.

I sit alone
In Green chair
Throughout all time
And throughout the eleven years
Beneath this roof.
I sit alone
In a chair
Made for one
To sit on.
A homemaker who is Alone, who is
Back from the Dead.

I will never forget
You, but still,
I was not expecting it,
  
When I looked up
And then I Saw you there
You turned me
Back Around Again-
I can only say That now
You always will be with me.
He, a friend I have met
Along the way to Oz, and to The Emerald City when we both
Were young.


So, Now look at us.  

So


Beautiful.

I see you dancing
And I must compress it into the form of
the modern poem,

Feel my voice as it leaves my body
And must
Distill it now.

What more, what more

Can I do or can I say.

Your Christ has left with me the
impression of

Light from light.

Jesus I can’t hear you enough,

I don’t hear your name enough.

I’ll repeat it a thousand
Times more, louder
.
What of my Godmother,
Godfather
Who stood over me?

What about the crush on the boy who was from Detroit,
We two teens -  Sean and I, up in Vermont in bunk beds

Who could have been the love of my life,
Except for his orientation?

I’m an American. I’ve transplanted
Myself
to the birthplace in Boston, MA.

Who invented
The pursuit of happiness? I bet

I had something to do with it.

Why did I think that
he would ever
(not)
be that into Me,

Even though he may have
Just
Said as much.

Should never have betrayed my own ears

Yeah, when I
Happen
To
know always

Just

Better than anyone else does here;

I am always standing

Just

That one step
Ahead of you.

So, Then
What is this Answer?-

I will close the door
In mens
Faces,

I will pray

On Christmas Eve

For Christmas Morning,

And for
It’s delivery.
