Tom

                Tom

He has a crippled collar bone. By self

Report he’s had a crippled soul. Tom looks

Like blondness from the realm of manly elf

And sturdy wizards.  But he’s had the hooks

Of beautiful young men that pierce his chest,

The one beneath that poorly healed, bulged bone,

To maim him—not just flesh, but what is best

In Tom.  They’ve forced him to exist a lone

Young vampire broken with no drink of blood

Or seed to swallow, like a hermit lost

Among men.  Still he’s built to be a stud.

His blondish hairs across his pecs are tossed

Around his untouched, unkissed nipples. They

Have not been crippled. They cry out.  They neigh.
