Erica Jong - Time Leak

Erica Jong - Time Leak

For centuries br we have lain like this, br our warmths intermingled, br our hearts beating br the same two-step, br & our breaths br & our limbs br intertwined. br br Life after life, br I return to flesh br to join my flesh br to your flesh. br Sometimes I am the woman br & you the man; br sometimes, br the other way around. br br It hardly matters. br Flesh after flesh, br our spirits return br to mingle. br Death is no barrier br & life's noisy matinee br where the suburban ladies br cough & sputter br & their programs crackle like kindling br merely goes on & on. br br They sit on their deaths br as if they were sitting br on fur coats, br while we touch br for the first time br remembering br the next.
