the first night

i need to lie down,
she tells me.
i'm not feeling well.
she draws the shades,
pours herself a glass of water.
she takes off her
shoes and sits on
the edge of the bed.
can you close the door,
she asks.
put the sign on the knob
do not disturb.
she lets her long white
dress fall to the floor,
then lies down.
would it be okay
if you slept in the other
room tonight?
in fact, from now on?
