Comment on the Stockholm Pride Festival
They say the pride festival was a great success.
What's so great about flaunting your sexuality?
I would rather keep it private for my lover
and my secret ways and dreams for his eyes only.
Parading sexuality is for me unnecessary prostitution
and for nothing, not for money, not for kicks,
for just a silly provocation to boast vulgarity,
as if the world had not enough of it.
No, love is only something to brag about
when it is perfectly protected by a mystery
for only those to see and be privy to
who can sustain it as an unknown mystery.
