Dear Dad and Uncle Fag (For Don Hale and Raymond Hale)

Dear Dad and Uncle Fag

These two
Brother and sister
Born of mother
Fatherly protector

A snake lay hidden
Among family members
Gifted caretaker or innocence taker

Our Uncle Ray, the games he would play
Finger here, finger there, finger everywhere

Up to his room we were coerced
Shhh, dont tell your daddy he often rehearsed

What did you say, Uncle Ray?
Does your booty itch?
My brains nightly refrain
Etched in my mind as if yesterday

Shhh! I told my father
He called me a liar
For what does an eight year old know of such things

Dear Dad and Uncle Fag
You never stood up for me
You took from me what God gave as mine
May he take from you.
