The picture is 'Death of Nancy Boy'. There's a band I like who were defined by that song (Nancy Boy) so when they grew up a little and no longer wanted to be remembered as 'that band with the queer singer' (their singer/guitarist is bisexual and their bassist is gay but people basically labelled them as a gay band - which suited them fine for a long time), they got a drag queen in for the shoot and killed Nancy Boy. With a guitar.
That's what got me started. That and I was feeling a little superficial. Wallowing in self-pity, as per usual.
Enjoy,
Xx

The poem is powerful. Tell a sad story. I do believe some cases are treated with less respect when the law had no concern. I like the flow of thoughts and the strong ending to the outstanding poetry.

The repetition is amazing.
The story of this band, sad. Plain downright sad.
I like the sarcasm in the poem..the tone of the poem.
A well written piece Kes.
