dear you,
welcome to the last episode of the Hot Summer Nights series. we wind down this very lustful summer season with one of my favorite lush poems, “I Have Lived My Whole Life in a Painting Called Paradise”, by Scorpio queen Diane Suess.
you can listen here.

PS— looking for more lust? got lust to share? I’m co-editing a special issue of Sinister Wisdom with Kristy Lin Billuni and we want you(r stories, poems, essays, art).
Writing prompt: what landscape would your brain occupy? are you high desert? tundra? rainforest? write into it. lean into the decay and the light, alike. keep it as lush as you can, a really exploration of senses and sensation, a kind of crush art to your own brilliance.
