“...and his hands are not like my husband’s.” Mournful and yearning: this beauty by Melissa Goode!💙

“I never learned how to take the beautiful thing in my imagination and put it on paper without feeling I killed it along the way. I did, however, learn how to weather the death, and I learned how to forgive myself.” brainpickings.org/2015/04/27/ann…

Lisa Low's notes on this are beautiful. 😭 Thank you Cincinnati Review for giving this poem a home. cincinnatireview.com/micro/micro-wh…

Reading Melissa Goode is like watching a really good art house film. A smooth cinematic lens, with wild undercurrents. This piece in 🪼 Jelly Fish is 🔥
