“I said you could snuggle. That doesn’t mean/ your cold feet all over my dick”
Oh, Louise Gluck is so good, and intimacy is so funny and cruel and singular and wonderful and awful, and I was rereading this poem (“Anniversary”) yesterday:
I said you could snuggle. That doesn’t mean
your cold feet all over my dick.
Someone should teach you how to act in bed.
What I think is you should
keep your extremities to yourself.
Look what you did —
you made the cat move.
