Father to Son
He told me that he loved me
His head was weathered, his smile was crooked, and his hands we hard against my face
He told me I wouldn't be a disappointment
That playing baseball was better than dance
That no son of his would be a faggot....
Now, the stains of memories past are infectious and invasive...
But not right....
