My friend Jo Pilgrim understands
that this copulation
this imagining of it
this willing it into being
whether on paper alone or on bedsheets
on the fabric of reality
no more constitutes adultery committed
against loved ones and promises
than defecation, or indeed any of the
biological inevitabilities,
the work that our bodies must do to be
and by which we might mark
the passage of time.
