Perversion

by

Doug Larson

The man
wept as he watched
(reporters don’t pull any punches)
Prime time news highlights
so good for ratings
a young man murdered
for being gay
propped up like a doll
macabre display
an open window to a house
of fear
icon of loss
and tears

The door
opened to reveal
a sympathetic face
concern in blue eyes
drinking in the crying face
imploring the comfort
of an embrace

abominable succor

Imagine!
A man held lovingly
in the arms of another!
