Heteronormative Homophobia

A wind blows like a wilderness of wolves

 

A vendetta, an apocalyptic vendetta

 

In its unpredictable, accidental quality

 

That swerves images of realization into tragedy

 

Neglecting all with swift intent upon a fallen fortress

 

In complected interests of caresses

 

Neither invited nor encouraged yet displayed

 

Displayed vividly with exclusive claim to that oppression

 

That howls by casting itself as a consequence of transgression

 

Upon a conventional expectation that claims a privileged sense

 

That persuades without an orator grotesquely amputated shapes

 

Extending extraordinary artifice as its priceless wealth

 

But who, yes who, has envy of so rich a nothing
