Postcard from Spain

[Duncan Ryder]

I've had some inquiries about where to find this (thank you to those who nominated it for a GA Readers Choice Award). It originally appeared in my Forum back in the fall. The discussion thread is here: https://www.gayauthors.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=21021

Postcard from Spain

 

a wedding today

in the plaza mayor

grooms with shy smiles

black suits

white orchids

 

yet lorca haunts me

through madrid

street to narrow street

a dove in his outstretched hand

 

i am brave

not because i dare

to love a man

but because i dare

to love at all
