"And when I held her cheek against my cheek, I was drawing from the well of love he filled. So I became after all not him exactly but a kind of conduit between them: a conversation they conducted with my mouth. And when I was not unbelievably sad, I was moved to hold inside me both my lovers and to introduce them to each other there, in the hollow just above the heart, among the little folds where the voice starts."-Maggie Millner, Couplets
