Teenage Demonic

THE TEENAGE DEMONIC

“the teenage demonic”

—Dennis Cooper

OUR DEEP GOSSIP, 

CONVERSATIONS

WITH GAY WRITERS 

ON POETRY AND DESIRE

________________

Hold on, hold on—

I know you’re here

Translate me, baby

Haunted by it—

My teen transgressive

Inarticulate Muse

___________

Hold on, hold on—

I’m hurt but I can’t

Like get enough

You send me up—

To the highest peak

But I must hold on
