Vevay, I can't remain and talk with you right now, but do this for me? Stay there, won't you? Only for a half an hour, comfortable this way, listening to our birds.
It's what I'd like if we were together. After everything else I'd like right now, of course; when we fall together, exhausted. (I'm beginning to wonder if I can exhaust you. I would very much like to try.) After -
I would hold you, Nova, and whisper to you all the words I have for you. That would be paradise for me. To have you in my arms is one of the few things I could ask from this world.
Maybe you could imagine me there for a half an hour. Maybe then some part of me would be.
The rest of me will be here, moving furniture and wanting you badly.
