A reading of "Lust Is Grief"

First published in the beautiful Virga, with so much gratitude to editor Laura Page. I’m including the text so that everyone can hear it.

I cut off the intro of my night porch reading of a poem first published in @Virgamag but I’m grateful to @TaraSkurtu & everyone out there right now. All the love for #InternationalPoetryCircle and my fellow mammals. All the broken terrified love. ❤️ pic.twitter.com/MNLMCx8prW

Lust Is Grief

"Lust is grief that has turned over in bed to look the other way."
