we live in boundless brotherhood

vintage gay photo, one man sat on the other's lap

Sweet lad, tender lad,

Have no shame, you’re mine for good;

We share a sole insurgent fire,

We live in boundless brotherhood.


I do not fear the gibes of men;

One being split in two we dwell,

The kernel of a double nut

Embedded in a single shell.
