Out there?
There is no out there.
All is open.
Open water. Open I.
— Muriel Rukeyser —
Secret Thots for a Very Private Gentleman
tales, temptation, and titillation…
People think that it is in the tangle of bodies, in the actual congress, that one person invades another and takes possession of them; that it is on the bed that we give ourselves up.
Well it is true that there is a surrender there that is unlike any other, but the real time they get under your skin is when you spend these hours alone, preparing for them; imagining them.
That is everything, sometimes more.
— Neil Bartlett
