living as a lesbian was such a good essay, full of critique and poetry and grace. favorite essay i've maybe ever read

shall i scratch his name onto parchment
press it to my lips
arrange it among the relics on my altar?

afraid, jealous, or stuck in some foaming
funk i learned from her in the circumstances
of her loneliness, i push away from my lover.
this hotness, this coldness still
in her aging she tricks me.
