Valentine, How Do I Know You?

Valentine, How Do I Know You?

Let me count the ways. After 43 years I know your voice—whispering to me across the table, working the crowd with a mike, singing, crying, laughing, mumbling in your sleep. I know your body through the years—from young to aging with mine, every way of dressing and undressing it, all stages of childbearing, weary and thriving, dancing, dozing, rejecting, and receiving.
