“Very soon you will be watching pair figure skating with the same sex. Silence is...”

Commentary from reader Gerald Brewster, on Fox News’ Facebook post, “Breaking news: Federal appeals court rules California’s same-sex marriage ban unconstitutional.”
The only thing worse than gay marriage is gay figure skating. Stand up for traditional figure skating values!

A thing that happened
there is a moth
crawling into the cracks
in the asphalt
escaping the light it craves
to rest from the wind
that beats against it’s sore paper wings
I shouldn’t have nudged it out
but it can’t stay there
dark pits are not the place for flying things
Step back into the surf
until the sand and shells
wash over you
you’ll be so aching white
and shining smooth
their eyes will ache to look at you

Okay. Guys. Guys. Two things.
1) I’m a martial artist. I’ve been studying since I was seven. I wouldn’t even hesitate to say that I’m good at it. I have done work as a fight choreographer for film, and I am trained in stage combat as well.

The hummingbirds are

until it breaks their rapid hearts

Mother's Milk
Remember the green-itch ring I gave you
hold that and forget
the pact I’m breaking
to keep my heart with your heart
and my hand in your hand
against the man that broke you
to remember what the others can’t remember
your raw throat
his shaking hands
Missive
There isn’t a you there
far as I know
just little bits and knobs
skewed sweet
but no you yet
no pulse to hold a thumb against
or breath to pause
in studied wait
no you until my sparrow body
fumbles through your hands

Do you treat yourself as well as you treat your friends and family?
