Our illegal aliens have escaped the future, left the flat desert, found water like a dowser, like me, found a beach in Italy, found the curve of Eve’s breast. Her pretty green eyes in my room, her curves everywhere in my eye, her name on my lips, my narrow interests, our delicious after-tremors. They drown in the surf and her period arrives, generous with blood the colour of my best geraniums.
“I can put a towel down under us.” The towel is dark blue.
“There is too much blood. In a day or two we can,” she says, “but not today.”
There is one kind favour I would ask of you.
“Usually I don’t like this,” she says. “Why do guys like it so much?”
She arranges herself on the bed in a pleasant businesslike manner as if agreeing to learn a new card game at the cabin. She sits and I stand before her, but who is supplicant?
She stops, says, “I’ve always hated this, but I actually like the taste of yours.”
I stand over her, but she controls me, moves me with her mouth and hands, my body a big doll tilting forward and back, a balloon animal moved this way and that, feeling closer, closer, a low gravitational force moving up from the floor through my ankles and knees, through my thighs, a concussive conclusion nearing, and sweet is the death that taketh end by love. I rock three or four times in involuntary motion until my legs sag under me and she has to hold me up. The feeling is far more powerful when standing up than if lying in bed with her, but I don’t want to convey that information. Both of us are surprised, we are related, we are bound.
