FIRST OLD FLAME TO DIE
I took her in the ass because she asked me to. And because I was curious, actually enjoyed the novelty. As did – or so it seemed – she. Her way of asking: “Ever put this in a woman’s ass?”
I cleared my throat. Let a few seconds drift, as if reflecting… “Once or twice.”
She shrugged, disappointment evident; she obviously eager to deflower. I should have lied. Given her the triumph.
Today I learn she died six months ago. Cancer. Fifty-six. All those cigarettes. All that love. But now she has taken, at least in one sense, my virginity; as I take the news up the ass of my heart.
