THE SECRET
She wanted me to see her
naked. She wanted me to
know the feel of her. We
had other things but she
wanted this too only there
were other considerations,
a husband who had his own
view of things and could
never be moved. And she
loved him and, more than
that, didn't want to do
him harm. And we both
hated secrets. But then
there was that other con
sideration, how we were
together and the need to
affirm that thing we had
in this specific way.
Well, we struggled and
struggled over it and
what finally happened was
this: we did it, got naked
one day -and touched,
that's all-and kept it
a secret, even from
ourselves.
