Some memories are lost
as how they were
abducted before or how
they came to be here now
or who
she was the last
time ( if Aiks?)
But Pahn is standing in the abductor’s room
The abductor
has become Djuturna’s husband
though he is not Jahneuss
and
across the open light
silvery modern space
Pahn
sees them talking cheerfully
The abductor
a cross
between Sean Penn
and Caligula glances
briefly at Pahn and leaves
Djuturna
after a moment glides
to Pahn smiling
and embracing
Pahn
knows that he is going to slip
his hands beneath her blouse
and asks Djuturna
“Does your husband get jealous?”
“No” she says
so he steps behind her
pulling her backwards
to the easy chair
and sits
with her lying on him
as he crosses his arms
inside her shirt
a hand on each breast
They are
as he imagined them
soft and sagging
like gelatin
cool and white
little substance
no resistance but
he is stifled by
his own complacence
