In his Russian greatcoatslamming open the door with an unpardonable bang,and he has been here ever since.

He changes everything,rearranges the furniture,his hand hovers by the phone;he will answer now, he says;he will be the answer.

Tonight he sits down to dinnerat the head of the tableas we eat, mute;later, he climbs into bedbetween us. Even as I sit here,he stands behind meclamping two colossal hands on my shouldersand bends down and whispers to my neck,From now on, you write about me.
