Leo's Song

Six months ago to the day,

I asked Eugene, "Are you gay?"

He said, "I'm really in doubt.

Why don't you help me find out?"

That night I went to his bed.

Today we're set to be wed.

Leo's Song is part of the poem series Felicitations by Felicia Nimue Ackerman. Ackerman is a professor of philosophy at Brown University and has had over 200 poems published in a wide range of places. We are lucky to get to have a few of them published right here at Options Magazine.
