Only words

We read your latest book together
and afterwards she turned to me
and said
"In the end, it's only words, you know?"

In the back of that darkened hall
I watched the slides flash across the screen.
A unmade bed and an open window,
your hand slid into my lap like a whisper.
I let your words wrap around me like so many tangled sheets
and fill me like a lover.
