Part of a project
Name on The Quilt
Flowers on his grave
he didn't even like flowers
Tin hear 4 music
Art,
Antiques & Judy Garland
"Why should I like fairy stuff
just because I like men?"
Cars & baseball
Not deep
Not smart
Not my lover
my fuck-buddy, best kind
Always he wanted cremation
A practical sort
"It's the engine, not the body"
How fast it turns
God, how he loved sucking dick
Melting
but he was not a
candle in the wind
A Name on the Quilt
Makes him a purpose
A cause
The patch that's his patch
Jag, Corvette
Bat, Cap, & Diamond
No Glory Hole
But glory
I know why I held him crying
Why I liked him & lusted
But didn't quite love
my fuck-buddy, best kind
I know some things
& not others &

Flowers on his grave
he didn't even like flowers
he wasn't a fairy
even tho he was

The writing has such a light touch that it took me more than half the poem to realize what a serious theme it has. Is the "h" is "hear" a typo? Overall well written and a very gentle, light approach to a subject that could have been very ponderous.
