They slept until noon
woke several times to touch
then slipped back
behind the curtain of exhaustion
that blotted out memory.
She almost didn't come back this time
It could not, would not
last much longer
this wordless liaison
with a stranger
she could never really know.
Together they watch
the sun drop beneath the horizon
the green flash symbolic
of how they had begun
how they would end.
