Love, again.
Early morning love.
They loved
Being loved up.
Lying, spent,
Holding hands,
Ceiling staring,
Synchronized panting,
laughing.
*Fuck !*
-- Indeed --
They laughed again,
Held each other,
For a moment.
Serious, now.
* I have to leave *
-- Where ? --
* New York,
American Vogue *
-- Shit ! I'm impressed --
* Big deal, Lau,
Prestigious.
I'll be in demand
If it goes well. *
-- It will --
* Less time for us .... *
At first, Laurent frowned,
Then, he smiled.
* What ?
You want me to leave ? *
Larry laughed.
-- More introspection.
How long ? --
* A week *
-- Shit.
I'm not impressed --
He laughed.
He frowned again.
* What now ? *
Laurent's face
Told the story
His heart didn't want to tell.
Larry dropped his smile.
-- We need to talk --

Saturday.
Laurent made breakfast,
Larry's favourite,
Eggs Benedict.
Posh.
The sofa,
Coffee,
Cuddled up.
Laurent stared into the
Middle distance,
Nervous,
Anxious,
Guilty.
* So, tell me *
Larry knew
It wasn't good.
-- I ...... shit .....--
