Brenda Miller, “Season of the Body”

Posted at 12:38am and tagged with: lust, desire, love, reading, Brenda Miller, Season of the Body,.

It’s not just the animal body I want, the mathematics of sex, the coupling; I want another heart, an extra one, a contrabassoon to echo my everyday pulse. It’s not my imagination. I hear it there, beating inside me. My bones pop and creak in their sockets.
