lyrics

“DEAR QUEER BAR”

Dear Queer Bar, don’t dissolve like rainbow bubble dewdrop rose lightning- flash world
Stay o’er young men with charming sideburns delicate black sweaters and rum coats
jukebox lead thee chanting softly from the heart guitar chords burping through alcoholic Isis
sweet bodies stay, I’m alone blonde beard nod in my company
flesh is so soft and sweet bellies so white and tender
how can consumption, cancer, and 4am ddt disprove the tenderness of loneliness, longings, and solitary sighs?
sweet boys, never fade, god wants you, loves you
lights flash on polished balconies and gables “Time to go now!”
waitress and I sigh, glasses clink in hand, the music’s stopped
“I’m sorry, I’ll have to collect your drink in one minute”
Heavens, give me the perception to die happy

circa 1970 Previously unpublished
