“the first thing you learn about desire
is that it does not wear down with time.
there comes a time
when you can no longer get your pleasure
but the desire stays with you—
a dampish kind of feeling
beneath the armpits
at the back of the tongue.
— Brenda Marie Osbey, from “Desire and Private Griefs” All Saints (Louisiana State University Press, 1997)”
