An older sibling,
moved to
to straighten his life.
Three letters stalked him,
Stole his opportunities;
Left him Positive.
They took his license,
job, insurance, apartment;
left him with welfare.
Ailing; three thousand
miles from his home. Struggling
to prolong his time.
Sobbing and heaving
Brother and sister; on the phone.
Alone... he’s dying.
Mother takes the blame;
She must have done something wrong,
Her son is a fag.
“Sister…I need Mom.
I need her to love me too.
Help me convince her”.
She needs exposure.
She must find you on her own;
I cannot force her.
Stuck in between a
homophobic mess; my love
alone is not enough.
