of no sleep.

The house creaks,

cat breath. Some

one who seems

an intruder in the

other room. After

email, smoldering,

cryptic enough

where anything

could have been

imagined, what

burned turned to

ice. Hot Austin

nights and then the

months of even

in Paris going over

your fingers that

never moved close

as in dreams.

Cold lips. I checked

e mail in terror

and only when I

stopped caring, a

blue plum card,

his “all of the

missing,” how he

looked for me in San

Antonio and even

across the table in

Austin and then

the bolt: “indeed,

why didn’t we?”
