Today is a banner day! Not only is it the Elvish New Year, for those of you who care about those days, but in going to Wikipedia to look up a link for the poet who I'm going to include a poem by today in honor of National Poetry Month, I discovered that it's also Tartan Day!

So in working for Furious Flower, I stumbled across the poet Cyrus Cassells. This poem is from his book Beautiful Signor which was awarded a Lambda Literary Award in 1997. From the poem "The Risk-Takers," this is section X.
