+ 3RD POEMS: Matthew, They Took Your Shoes, 1

[in memory of Matthew Shepard,

December 1, 1976-October 12, 1998;

his life blessed all of us;

his death shames all of us.]

 

They took your shoes; then

savagely beat you, and left

you hung on a fence.
Heaven shelters your soul; God

is much displeased by your death.
