as she picks her dress up off the floor

she tells me, as she picks her dress
up off
the floor
that she's catholic.
did you hear me, she says,
as i lie back
on a pillow
catching my breath.
i'm catholic,
she says again,
i thought you should know
that.
no problem, i tell her.
me too,
at least according
to the paperwork
in some desk drawer.
i won't hold it against you.
i kind of thought so
anyway
when you asked me
to close the door.
