Two nonets.
Seated at the hearth. Flames well controlled.
His craftsman chair, her tufted print
upholstery. Does she knit?
Speculative genius,
needles in hand, yarn.
Motherhood and
writing goals.
Good sex,
too.
All the ways of having sex she knows
from rape to ecstatic union.
Threesomes, orgies, mated pairs,
any gender, one-time
encounters, river
trysts, conception
hopes, success.
Longed for
child.
