Aren't we enlarged
by the scale of what we're able
to desire? Everything,
the choir insists,
might flame;
inside these wrappings
burns another, brighter life,
quickened, now,
by song: hear how
it cascades, in overlapping,
lapidary waves of praise? Still time.
Still time to change.

QUICK QUESTION PLEASE! Tonight at KGB he (Mark Doty) read a poem about his first enduring love affair with a man. He had it while still married to Ruth. And the poem ends with his lover laying in bed, bruised from a motorcycle (I think) accident. Doty fellates him and then the man touches his head and cries. It was AMAZING!!!! But I can't find it online (I don't even know the title!). Can anyone help?! I'd be so grateful! Thank you in advance.
