Two happy lovers.

Vera Pavlova
    He:
    When you are not there,
    it feels as if
    you had just stepped out.

    She:
    When you step out,
    it feels like
    there is no you anymore.

    Tenderly on a tender surface my best lines are written:
    with the tip of my tongue on your palate,
    chest, in miniscule letters,
    on your belly...
    But, darling, I wrote
    in a placid key!

    May I erase with my lips
    your exclamation mark?
