I was tanding at the fireplace thinking of my own desire which seemed to
offer me no place to go, when i heard a little giggle, sounding like some
silly piglets playing in the mud so deep and warm. so i went and looked
around and fromhe bathroom door i found some sounds that had not come
fromhere before. so i shouted, "come on out," and soon i saw them both
look out expressing fear and innocence at once. they said that they wee
haveing fun with something that they found someone had left behind a
basket on the floor.
"let me see," and so i took it with a snatch that left a crooked smile
across the corner of my mouth. it was a smooth and shiny object with a
purpose and a job i recognized and was familiar with. looking up i saw one
pair of eyes that somehow now were staring straight into the secrets of my
min. i knew at once it was the she thng, to the they and the he thing
looking back at me and my desire.
inflamed i reached and pulled her close, but then at once i had them both
off balance and we fell upon the floor into a pile of awkard bodies, with
arms and legs and elbows caught beneath, around and in between us all.
hastily i helped them up and said that we should soon discuss and try to
understand what they had found. but it was too late to do it now, but if i
tell the truth, i was confused by what i felt inside.
