Erica Jong - Parable of the Four-Poster

Erica Jong - Parable of the Four-Poster

Because she wants to touch him, br she moves away. br Because she wants to talk to him, br she keeps silent. br Because she wants to kiss him, br she turns away br & kisses a man she does not want to kiss. br br He watches br thinking she does not want him. br He listens br hearing her silence. br He turns away br thinking her distant br & kisses a girl he does not want to kiss. br br They marry each other- br a four-way mistake. br He goes to bed with his wife br thinking of her. br She goes to bed with her husband br thinking of him. br -& all this in a real old-fashioned four-poster bed. br br Do they live unhappily ever after? br Of course. br Do they undo their mistakes ever? br Never. br Who is the victim here? br Love is the victim. br Who is the villain? br Love that never dies.
