Ultimately, we will lose each otherto something. I would hope for grandcircumstance–death or disaster. But it might not be that way at all. It might be that you walk outone morning after making loveto buy cigarettes, and never return, or I fall in love with another …It might be a slow drift into indifference. Either way, we’ll have to learnto bear the weight of the eventualitythat we will lose each other to something. So why not begin now, while your headrests like a perfect moon in my lap …?Why not reach for the seam in this …night and tear it, just a little, so the fallingcan begin? Because later, when we crosseach other on the streets, and are forcedto look away, when we’ve thrownthe disregarded pieces of our togethernessinto bedroom drawers and the smellof our bodies is disappearing like the sweetdecay of lilies–what will we call it, when it’s no longer love? .
