If I told you I missed you, would you take it the wrong way? Would you think I wanted to see you? Would you think I wanted you back? Or would you stop talking to me (again)? You put it on me, the good and the bad, every time. When I gave you took, and …

On the unmade bed
“Ah. That. That’s what I was so disturbed about this morning: My desire has come back, and I want you again. I was doing fine, I was above it all. The boys and girls were beautiful and I was an old man, loving everyone. And now I want you again, I want your absolute attention, …
