Hold me tight. The stars are bright. Summer time is upon us. I dispose

of limited time. Two days from now, I don’t know…the omens are

overwhelming. Let’s open the window and get fresh air while our love

making lasts. I love you dearly. More than my own lie life. I’m not

talking crazy. Close your eyes and open your sweet lips. Let me seal

them with mine. Weld our breathing. The olive trees smell sweet.

The cricket sounds happy. The owl too.

I’m ready. No, no, don’t despair, all has been written in the sky. I shall

go. One day you’ll be with me for eternity. Have to be patient. Things

may seem complicated but they aren’t.

One more night of love making, sweet Marie…
