The Novel

       


Chapter 1 begins with a woman
on a bed in dim light,
a woman,
naked
except for anklets.

The man next to her
looks at her
& says:
Even in this dark place
your face,
your body,
your eyes
are beautiful.

The pages are blank
after he speaks.
No words describe
what the lovers do
or how long they are
together.

When the chapter ends,
the woman says to the man:
You made me feel good.


Please tell me what you think

    love how the scene is just sketched and the image of the blank pages ... the idea of things need not be spelled out.
    thanks.

    this is very earthy, very real. I like this approach to the love-making.

    sounds like an fascinating novel being written, a very sensual one.
