The Bed Is Still Warm (denial), Discretionary Love The clock coughs up another minute, but you’re just in the shower, I tell myself, even as mildew blooms like rot in your toothbrush cup.

The Bed Is Still Warm (Denial), is now live on Discretionary Love! It’s about the space someone leaves behind and how that space keeps breathing without them. #poetry #MissouriWriters #MidwestPoetry #StLouisWriters #PoetsOfMissouri #MissouriLit #BlueskyPoets
