But if I were to tell you now?
You pull back and look at me, and I have never known fear as in that moment. You smile, though, and laugh; kiss me as if we’ve been doing it all our lives.

Dark faces pale against that rosy flame,
The mild-eyed melancholy Lotos-eaters came.
Tennyson & The Lotus Eaters - painted by Barbara Neustadt
Words! be
sick as I am sick, swoon,
roll back your eyes, a pool,
and I’ll stare down
at my wounded beauty
which at best is only a talent
for poetry.
Frank O'Hara - Mayakovsky
Sweating, salivating, damp all over. Beyond the clamp of my eyes It watched. Long fingers pushed through the seams of here and there.
I turned to well-worn prayer: Teeth knocking together. A hole in my skirt her pinky fit through. Gravel tipped out of our shoes. A wish for a breath safely shared.
Every weekday this entire month, you can call the FSG Poetry Hotline and hear an FSG author read a poem, right into your personal ear.
