There are few better vehicles for outing yourself as a gay-in-the-making than the Christmas list you write up for Santa. What’s on it says a lot. When I was a kid, I asked for things like watercolor sets, musical instruments and books. Hmmm.
Equally revealing is what isn’t on your list. I never asked for baseball [...]

hide me in your hollows
taste the salt that clings to me
shipwrecked in your shadows
scented by the sea
hide me in the wisdom of your thighs
ride me like a wave
chart my secret places
navigate my shores
map the ocean’s traces
lick them from my pores
dry me with delusion and desire
ride me [...]

“Argentine Tango is to lead and follow, to step to & fro, to turn right & left, to move together as one body.
To Tango is to trust, to pause, to dance in a close embrace, articulating the unfolding of desire into passion.” — Dr. Hugo Heyrman

If he asks about me, trace on the ground
a cross of silence and ashes
over the impure name that afflicts me.
If he asks about me, say that I have died
and that I am decaying beneath the ants.
Tell him that I am a branch of an orange tree,
the simple weather vane of a tower.
Do not tell him [...]

The rain may fall, the wind may blow, it may get down to 20 below,
But I don’t mind ’cause I’m goin’ to the dance with you.
The rent’s unpaid, the cupboard’s bare, I don’t mind, I won’t despair
‘Cause I’m in love and goin’ to the dance [...]
