“I wish my desire were revolutionary
I wish my desire could inspire revolutions
My desire will not revolt
In real time my desire will revolt you”
Jake Byrne, DADDY

“there's a sort of wistfulness gay men excel at
if we weren't just passing through ourselves
via each other's bodies tonight
we'd be companions in another life
they'd sing songs about the love we had, if we had any
but all the love we have is here before us now
a bond made sacred by fluid exchange, a sacrament--
something mystic we cannot name”
Jake Byrne, DADDY

“have you ever felt a need
superseding every other?
what was the need, and
where did you feel it
in your body? have you
ever taken your place
as jester in the court of love
at midnight in the hellfire realms?
of course you have, you bad thing, you.”
Jake Byrne, DADDY
