When the skeletons in a gay mans life
are the family experiences he grew up with
and they will neither keep quiet, but will disrupt
his every attempt it trying to grow beyond them
then he is perfectly right to remonstrate with them.
But defeating them when they have the edge
and can ruin a social life in way they torment
can't predict is a tricky business, no treat.
Still the skeletons can be beaten
and their deeds undone, and not repeated.
There victory and life can taste sweet
for the victor and his companions
where the secretive and abominable life
the family forced the gay man to live is no more.
He did not need the evil spirits
half as much as they needed him to live off.
