Thank you, Louisville
Hot humid city by the river
Queer celebration
Coming out ‘94
Each of us, living our lives
pushing our limits
spreading our wings
We are always coming out and coming home.
After 18 years of living in Vermont,
(How I love those cool green mountains
And how I miss my mountain man, gardener, actor, lover of 14 years, soon to join me here)
starting again in a new city
coming out to new neighbors, new co-workers, new friends
Thank you, Louisville
for your coffee houses and your pride,
for your gayness,
for your open hearts.
Thank you, Louisville
-- Larry Wolf (1994)
