A Book

There is a room off the main room that is the clock room. Inside, a grandfather clock where we make love, wedged behind the huge hanging pendulum.

Long, with whom I make love, is a bookmaker. My bookmaker went into the business to save words, but ended up with me. Bound in red thread, I await the tolling of the hour when Long will come. The vibrations make this especially pleasing.

Long most loves the book bound with the threads we use in our lovemaking. The cover is made from our discarded clothing. The book is called The Clock Room and was written by my grandfather.
