stinky cold
you really can buy love
family manipulations

If you're going to burn me alive
just for being queer, or trans, or gay
at least pin to my body
thick slices of crusty bread
and pass out knobs of butter to the crowd.
Toast made over an open fire
will remind me of my father
back when he was still happy.
