AttractionThe whites of his eyespull me like moons. He smiles. I believehis face. Alreadymy body slips down in the chair: I recline on my side, offering peeled grapes. I can taste his tonguein my mouthwhenever he speaks. I suspect he lies. But my body oils itself loose. When he gets up to fix a drinkmy legs like derrickshoist me off the seat. I am thirsty, it seams. Already I see the seductionfar off in the distancelike a large treedwarfed by a risein the road. I put away objectionsas quietly as quilts. Already I explain to myselfhow marriages are broken--accidentally, like arms or legs. Enid Shomer
