Ballad of Boone Henry

do you
make your horse
leap like a locust?

what the
hell kinda
question is that
boone henry? stay focused
if we put bits in the mouths
of horses so that they obey us
we guide their whole bodies as well

goddamn right
brokeback what I'm
talkin' about scripture
job 39:19-25 james 3:3

do you clothe
his neck with a mane?
whoever said that boone henry?
made the mold for abel and cain
by the hair of a testicle I've got
a job for you isaiah 63:13 who led them
through the depths like a horse in the desert
they did not stumble

brokeback didn't mumble
if you have raced with men
on foot and they have wearied you
how will you compete with horses and
if in a safe land you are so trusting
he outfitted his shaft with a condom alfalfa hue
what will you do in the thicket of the jordan he made
his horse leap like a locust mounted boone henry jeremiah 12:5

that afternoon
boone henry bent
over the corral board
brokeback broke him until
the coming of the moon proverbs 21:31
the horse is made ready for the day of battle
but the victory belongs to the lord now the day is done

Look Away Silence by Edward Patterson

Martin Powers wanted an ironing board for Christmas. Instead, he got . . . Matthew Kieler, a non-returnable gift, but a gift that kept on giving. A powerful tale of survival, compassion and unapologetic love in the time of AIDS.
