Even Then, They Will Know
Submission for the four-letter-only-words love poem challenge.
With lust laze,
they will know—
With lone, wild,
bold wish—
(they that hope)
—will burn
Dash over sky’n moon,
span over eons,
spun like dust with wind
Even then,
they will hold that crux pain with each hand—
(tomb)
—will bear left open
W I D E
They will fuse
They will blow
Even then,
they will seek
Even then,
they will hiss
They will howl like dogs into that cold moon
None will hear them.
Even then,
they will know—

The Evolution of LGBT Portrayal in TV and Film
Happy Pride Month, all! I love Pride Month and everything that comes with it; the celebration, the festivities, the prestige. Pride Month is the ultimate beacon of positivity. Now sadly, there are a bunch of people in society who aren't really crazy about Pride Month and have their things to say against it. To those people, I'll only say this. There's a special place reserved for people who are against Pride Month. I'm too much of a gentleman to say it here, but I'll give a few hints: it rhymes with "bell," and I'm not talking about the city in Michigan.
