LGBTQ+ Poem: queerboys, by Elliot Walla

there’s no cowboy love here
just cowboy hurt & cowboy bile & cowboy
you’re not a real man cowboy
cowboy cowgirl you’re going to regret every
decision you’ve made so far girlboy

no sunday church like the good boys
change your mind you can be my
forever boy
forever girl
forever whatever

not worth more than a smile &
a quick peck unlike the real boys
hold my hand & turn to dust
compost your lungs just like
every other boy

dig your grave
name yourself
drown in mud
& call it home
