The Absinthe of Desire
by Elizabeth Rhett Woods
The Absinthe of Desire is a feast of words celebrating a consuming relationship that is, like absinthe, both intoxicating and deadly. The poet relishes the morsels life has left upon her plate, skillfully crafting a tantalizing array of experiences, where love and loss tempt with a dangerous appeal.
