The door is shut:
I did what they say,
Clasped my hands
to pray the gay away.

The portal broke down,
The portal is a stone.
The portal is a sphere,
The sphere a revolution.   
A priest in a collared shirt tore it down.

I sign of the cross my arms
Opposite the sky;
Shut open teary eyes
And hope to die.
