Hayes on Dancing in a Gay Bar

I wanted to post “At Pegasus” by Terrance Hayes, another poem about dancing in gay bars, but I can’t make the formatting work. So I’m going to just link to it at Poetry Magazine’s site.

If I figure out how to post the full text here, I will. Until then:

These men know something

I used to know.

How could I not find them

beautiful, the way they dive & spill

into each other,

the way the dance floor

takes them,

wet & holy in its mouth.
