+ 3RD POEMS: To Matthew And Francis, 1 [Repost]
The two of you were far, far better men
than those who speak of you with such a snide
contempt. Their evils wholly override
couth and decorum that compassion's sense
requires (in past, present, or future tense)---
it happens now; its violence happened when
their brilliant lights were snuffed out as they died.
What theological or other glitch
compels the mouth of some son of a bitch
to dare deny them joy in Paradise?
(His soul is obviously so descended
from him who Jesus called Father of Lies;
lineage that can never be amended).
