STAINED GLASS STAR

I Was Naked And Kneeling In What Could Have Been Church -

Or A Parlor -

Or Strip Club -

Or Bar.

I Was Begging For Mercy -

For Razor Ripped From Me -

I Was Looking Toward Heaven

When I Saw Stained Glass Star.

The Star Of Cathedral -

The Star That Made Me Crawl -

The Star That Was Nothing

If Not Goth In Extreme.

The Star Was Eternal -

The Star Was Infernal -

The Star Ripped Inside Me -

It Inspired My Screams!

The Star That Posessed Me -

The Star That Distressed Me -

The Star Made Me Fragile

And Stained Me With Fear.

The Star Never Left Me -

It Became And Bereft Me -

Made Me What I Am:

Stained Glass Star Of The Queer.
