A Woman's Nails
“. . I miss him . . .’”
I can hear her sniffing on the other end.
“I want to see him . . .”
Her voice grows ever more quiet, and with all the sniffing, it’s hard to catch what she’s saying. Even so, I know the message she wants me to convey.
“Tell him . . . I love him.”
I write the simple words down on the only piece of paper available, a mauve napkin with a picnic basket and squirrels in one corner, write her words verbatim with ellipsis indicating the pauses each time she’s... too overcome by emotion to continue. When I look at what she has had me write, I realize they are the very same words Mie spoke to me.
Mie and I spent a quiet weekend together at her apartment in Fukuoka, rarely leaving her bed. We made love, rested, made love again, and then after taking a shower together, fell into each other’s arms and did it one more time before falling asleep.MoreLess
