Just a taste, for the freaks. To get the whole thing, the high-octane desire, the Chicago boosterism, the early 2000s Yeah Yeah Yeahs-inspired masochistic longing... Well, you have to go over to @loverseyepress.bsky.social

lately I need nothing more

than to touch you
to crawl across

this crowded bar

just to hold the hem
of your dress

in my mouth

This has been a labor of love between myself and Fiction Editor Justin J. Allen—with whom I spent many a night typesetting and adjusting gutter widths until we were perfectly satisfied.
