She breathed the words
into the cellphone
with great difficulty...
"I am lying here naked...
But don't get any ideas."
She feared being taken to a place
from which she could not return..
a place where she
would need his protection...
"Take two fingers", he replied,
"and put them in your mouth."
Her lips made a smacking sound
as she pulled her fingers from them...
"Now write my name across your tummy."
Then she whispered the letters
one by one, careful to
dramatize each...
"Now take your fingers
get them wet again
and write, 'home'
starting under your naval
and going down."
This time she made the fingers
create a much more dramatic sound
punctuating her desire...
Then whispered the letters...
"Aich - oh - emm - ee. Home."
She whispered with great longing.
Fingers wetter at the end
than when beginning.
She hung up.
