Belles Lettres
by Terese Svoboda .....  Hear Terese Svoboda read this poem (in RealAudio)Slowly, slowly, so as not to awaken himself, he scratches his ear. The sun is out—that is, not. Sheets and her rucked-up slip line his back in canals (a misunderstood Martian) where sprout and curl hairs he grows as easily as he shrugs off the phone-call assault, the covers coming over in waves. Does he growl, Nice night in bed, or, sniffing, It could rain? He's reading her instead. Copyright © 2001 by The Atlantic Monthly Company. All rights reserved.
