THE SOUND AND THE FURY

GAY FAULKNER:
THE SOUND AND THE FURY

______________________

Dalton Ames

“he rolled the cigarette
quickly with about two
motions he struck the
match with his thumb”
—William Faulkner,
The Sound and the Fury

On the bridge that day—
Confronting young Dalton Ames
I got had real bad.

He was so handsome—
No wonder Caddy loved him
A perfect young stud.

Refused to touch it—
But Dalton made me do it
Touch his big penis.

The one that Caddy—
Knew so well fucking her nice
Tight juicy pussy.

Shook his head saying—
“Those pretty lips of yours should
Be on a girl’s face.”

Shoving my shocked face—
Down on his straining pistol
Making me suck it.

Dwayne Jerome

“If I could have been
his mother lying with
open body lifted laughing,
holding his father with my
hand, refraining, seeing,
watching him die before
he lived.”—William Faulkner,
The Sound and the Fury

If I could only—
Have been Mommy Dearest when
Dwayne’s father came.

Feeling her love-child—
Oozing into existence
With each nice thick squirt.

Dwayne Jerome Jones—
My kid brother dinge lover
Fucking me like her.

How big was Daddy—
Dwayne’s patriarchal prick
Primal squirt of cum?

Dalton Ames’ big dick—
Just as demandingly male
Needing to get off.

Holding Dwayne tight—
Trembling jazz-player penis
His well-hung father.

Caddy's Young Lover

“and that I had just
passed out like a girl
but even that didn’t
matter anymore”
—William Faulkner,
The Sound and the Fury

I didn’t tell her—
I didn’t dare tell Caddy
What really happened.

Ames made me suck it—
Dalton Ames’ big veiny dick
Suck it like a girl.

I didn’t want to—
Even tho I really did
And Dalton knew it.

He wanted my lips—
Pouty lips just like Caddy’s
Got it all down there.

That’s why I fainted—
He make me choke on it bad
He made me do it.

And when he shot it—
I swallowed the nasty wad
That’s why I fainted.

Dalton's Big Dick

“I didn’t feel anything at all
I felt almost good after all
those days and the nights
with honeysuckle coming up
out of the darkness into
my room trying to sleep”
—William Faulkner,
The Sound and the Fury

I could still taste it—
Dalton Ames’ big fucking dick
I felt like Caddy.

The vein in my neck—
Throbbed & pulsed madly like hers
Now I knew the truth.

The naked uncut—
Primitive young male secret
The thing that drove them.

I got weak in bed—
Just thinking about back then
Swallowing his cum.

I was just jealous—
That’s what it was all about
My bruised Caddy lips.

Dalton knew me well—
I was such a nelly fag
A gay Southerner.

True Confession

“all at once she quit
her wrists went lax
yes I can tell him
I can make him believe
anytime I can make him
Caddy”—William Faulkner,
The Sound and the Fury

That’s what Dalton did—
He turned me into Caddy
Then he fucked my lips.

The I asked Caddy—
“Do you really love Dalton?
Love him all the way?”

“Do you suck him off?—
Does he fuck you in the mouth?
Do you swallow it?”

“Yes,” Caddy whispered—
“Just like you did on the bridge.
He likes it that way.”

I was mortified—
I felt so fuckin’ ashamed
My own sister knew.

When she ran away—
I wanted to go with them.
Like Judith & Bon.

Caddy Loved Him

“she took my hand
and held it flat against
her throat now say his
name Dalton Ames
I felt the first surge of
blood there it surged
in strong accelerating
beats”—William Faulkner,
The Sound and the Fury

It was the same surge—
Getting faster & faster
Just like Dalton’s dick.

So slow & sluggish—
At first & then picking up
Heart beating faster.

All of Dalton’s strength—
Coming into me in squirts
Squirting thick blood-jets.

Caddy felt it too—
She knew what I got to know
How strong Dalton was.

But also how weak—
He got in the knees with me
Letting me feel it.

Knowing what I was—
Knowing what I needed bad
Some nice Caddy cum.

Dalton Mon Amour

“say it again Dalton Ames
her blood surged steadily
beating and beating
against my hand”
—William Faulkner,
The Sound and the Fury

Caddy looked at me—
Soon I’d be there in Harvard
Caught in Shreve’s big arms.

Strong as Dalton Ames—
Canadian comeliness
The New England cold.

How was I to know—
The Sutpen séance come true
Conjoined with the Past?

Henry Sutpen and—
Charles Bon the Beautiful
Speaking with our Tongues.

Jumping off the bridge—
Thinking about Dalton Ames
Knowing I loved him.

I didn’t hate it—
I didn’t hate the Deep South
It was me instead.

Queer Quentin

“Every time any character
gets into a book no matter
how minor, he’s actually
telling his biography.”
—William Faulkner, Faulkner
in the University

Being queer Quentin—
Being queer Henry Sutpen
Queer for Charles Bon.

Living inside them—
Absalom, Sound & Fury
Burlesque Biloxi.

Looking at myself—
Deep South decadent homo
Living with Dwayne.

Just an aging old—
Miss Havisham delta wreck
Miss Rosa old queen.

Dinge déjà vu kid—
My spaz Benjy kid brother
He can’t read a book.

All he can do is—
Let me get him off at night
While we watch TV.

Dalton's Ten Inches

“That’s all anyone ever
does, he tells his own
biography, talking about
himself, in a thousand
different terms, but himself.”
—William Faulkner, Faulkner
in the University

So I just sat down—
And didn’t do anything
Just had this image.

Quentin on the bridge—
Young Dalton Ames standing there
Making him do it.

Smoking cigarette—
Grabbing Quentin by the ears
Doing Caddy’s lips.

Big thick petulant—
Pouty adolescent lips
A girl’s pair of lips.

The kind of pretty—
Pussy-willow faggy lips
That needs a big one.

Dalton’s ten inches—
All the way down Quentin’s throat
Making him choke, faint.
