“So this is it, after all the fight is gone.
After all the inner and outer battles are fought.
After all the tears have dropped and dried.
After all the lust and privilege to each others pleasure has been spent.
After our companies over stayed their welcome together.
After our conversations and laughter lost its potency.
After our hands lost the sensations of each others touch.
After our last three kisses.
After, after no explanation.

“He paused as his eyes went Elsewhere. His mouth hung open uncharacteristically in an odd moment of hesitation.

I stood uncomfortably before such an entity and this Conjurer spoke thus, ‘Seeker of Truth!’ His words were oppressive, yet assuring, ‘Now it can all be told! Now you may have all the answers you seek. All the answers of the Universe!’ This proclamation only satisfied me briefly, for I almost immediately found myself responding, ‘Dear Conjurer, I do not wish to sound ungrateful, but instead of all the answers, may I not have more
questions? An endless supply even? For all else would seem insufficient. I could never face a world that lacked mystery.’ The Maker laughed as though I had told the only joke in the Universe in which he could find humor. I awoke immediately, out of breath, for I, too, had been laughing.”
