The Kingdom of Little Wounds (2013)
“Virginity is nothing and dangers feel merely sad.
Surrendering my maidenhead was not nearly as grand a gesture as I expected. A stab of pain, a quick exclamation, and then Grammaticus lay sleepy on his back. I burned for a few hours and tied on a monthly cloth, but I still felt the same inside myself.
Could I love Grammaticus? I ask myself while we undress as much as is necessary, while he touches and licks and rocks his way into me, loosing showers of dust from his bed curtains and exciting a ...creak in the bed’s old wooden joints. I keep wondering till he shudders and goes still.
No, I decide then, I do not love him, and I no longer wish I did. He is now simply a fact in my life. He’s the person I hope will at least preserve my father’s memory in a positive light, if he will still do nothing to alter what he calls the flow of history by asking for Klaus Bingen’s release. The person who provides some tiny measure of comfort as I wait for doom to lower itself over me.
