Bethan recommends “The Art Teacher” by Rufus Wainwright"Wainwright’s breaths sound like he’s drawing air through his teeth in brief snatches of pain, which is what this memory provokes for the narrator – momentary, almost-pleasurable, stinging reminders of what’s forever lost."

as you close one eye to see it better,
straining on tiptoes.
the clouds billow into familiarity.
these are days of bleeding grazes, days of salt."
