Instruction Manual

  
  

Make love to her gently,
and you will see her strength.

 

Afterwards, in the quiet softness,
do not be surprised by the tears
nor afraid of the pain.

 

Do not speak.
Let your arms wrapped around her
and your breath in her hair
pronounce your love.

 

Ask no questions.
If she needs she will tell you.

 

If her sobs are wordless,
know you are healing her
in a place
unutterably deep.
