MacQueen’s Quinterly: Knock-your-socks-off Art and Literature
Issue 3: May 2020
Poem, contrapuntal: 35 words
By Matthew Feinstein

 

 

Before

Bliss

 
It’s the way you
curl your tongue
for my eyes—
I’m lost in you;
your spit on
my mouth...
savor the lollipop
and smile
digital bliss.
I can almost taste
the screen—
radiant.
