The Knowing
Afterwards, when we have slept, paradise-
comaed and woken, we lie a long time
looking at each other.
I do not know what he sees, but I see
eyes of surpassing tenderness
and calm, a calm like the dignity
of matter. I love the open ocean
blue-grey-green of his iris, I love
the curve of it against the white,
that curve the sight of what has caused me
to come, when he’s quite still, deep
inside me. I have never seen a curve
like that, except the earth from outer
space. I don’t know where he got
his kindness without self-regard,
almost without self, and yet
he chose one woman, instead of the others.
By knowing him, I get to know
the purity of the animal
which mates for life. Sometimes he is slightly
smiling, but mostly he just gazes at me gazing,
his entire face lit. I love
to see it change if I cry–there is no worry,
no pity, no graver radiance. If we
are on our backs, side by side,
with our faces turned fully to face each other,
I can hear a tear from my lower eye
hit the sheet, as if it is an early day on earth,
and then the upper eye’s tears
braid and sluice down through the lower eyebrow
like the invention of farmimg, irrigation, a non-nomadic people.
I am so lucky that I can know him.
This is the only way to know him.
I am the only one who knows him.
When I wake again, he is still looking at me,
as if he is eternal. For an hour
we wake and doze, and slowly I know
that though we are sated, though we are hardly
touching, this is the coming the other
coming brought us to the edge of–we are entering,
deeper and deeper, gaze by gaze,
this place beyond the other places,
beyond the body itself, we are making
love.

It had to unleash some invisible magic, he thought; Hades and Persephone, joining together again within these black and holy stone walls, for the first time in millennia. As they indulged in enjoying one another, how could they not be reactivating some power within the Earth itself? Surely they were at least bringing autumn storm clouds rolling and thundering over the Mediterranean.
But probably every boy felt that way when finally in bed caressing the girl he loved.

Chociaż nie odważył się jej o to zapytać, był pewien, że się masturbuje. Była zbyt inteligentna, aby tego nie robić. Tylko kobiety, które się masturbują, dobrze wiedzą, co je podnieca i umieją o to poprosić. Ponadto akt masturbacji jest jedynie dodatkiem do prawdziwego aktu, który ma miejsce w mózgu. Podbrzusze jest tylko sceną, na której się to rozgrywa. Był pewien, że ona masturbuje się, myśląc o nim. Tak, to była właśnie ta wyłączność: być w jej mózgu i w jej palcach w takim momencie. Czy można być w ogóle bliżej kobiety niż wtedy, gdy ona rozładowuje napięcie swoich fantazji, wiedząc, że nic, absolutnie nic i przed nikim nie musi udawać?

On: Czekać. Czy to to samo, co tęsknić?
Ona: Nie. Dla mnie nie. Przy czekaniu nie budzę się o 5 rano, rezygnując z najlepszych snów. Nie przychodzę także z tego powodu już przed 7 do biura. Przy czekaniu mleko nie traci dla mnie smaku. Przy tęsknocie tak...
I loved him desperately, completely, and he wasn’t threatening to consume me anymore. He already had. Everything that was me was him. My heart, mind and soul all were as much a part of him as they were me.
