Amorously in situ - Jessica Swanson

I offer my hands,
fingers tentatively wandering your skin
slick with honeyed gold
and I would love to [love you]
slit you amorously in situ
between then, now, and every now-and-then 

Hedone

Dreamlike and evocative, Amorously in situ leans into the sweet ache of longing for a love consumptive even in loss. Immersed in the natural, Swanson's poems situation the body and it's wants as at one with the great griefs of the earth. Desperate and reflective, memories gnawed raw by moonlight, these are the words so often unsaid.
