I hated her for leaving that night, and I hated myself , too, not only because I let her go but because if I had been enough for her, she wouldn’t have even wanted to leave. She would have just lain with me and talked and cried, and I would have listened and kissed at her tears as they pooled in her eyes.

• I am over-run, jungled in my bed, I am infested with a menagerie of desires: my heart is eaten by a dove, a cat scrambles in the cave of my sex, hounds in my bed obey a whipmaster who cries nothing but havoc as the hours test my endurance with an accumulation of tortures. Who, if I cried, would hear me among the angelic orders?

  Who will cry for the little boy, abandoned without his own?

  Who will cry for the little boy? He never had for keeps.
  Who will cry for the little boy? He walked the burning sand.
  Who will cry for the little boy? The boy inside the man.

  Who will cry for the little boy? He died and died again.
  Who will cry for the little boy? A good boy he tried to be.
  Who will cry for the little boy, who cries inside of me?
