THE DAY I GOOGLED NICKY BOEHME
AND DISCOVERED - SHE'S A WOMAN
What kind
of self-loving
gay man has
a portrait of a
church
fixed above
his head-board?
Autumn-kissed leaves?
Patches of flawless
perennials?
A glimpse of a blue-black
stream
shadowed
by a cool, protective
gray, rock bridge?
The kind of
gay man
who realizes
the frame
by itself
without the Nicky Boehme
painting, sells
for more
than $4,000,
new.
You don't have to be
a lesbian
to be able to
appreciate
them earth-tones
whether he's
all alone in bed
at night
or otherwise.
