 |  | There is a slyness to this word, naughty echoes and an evocation of the battlefield. Don't think life was any simpler for them or that these recreations served as anything more than what they are. Thrust and grunt and sigh and tumble, the lewd quick blooming of roses. As the years go by the drift into immediate sleep seems less gendered, sleep itself much less seamless. It is a relatively common occurance for the one who comes later to bed to engage the sleeper in a brief conversation, as if drinking water from a spring. "I just enjoy speaking to someone in the language that they dream in," his son says on the telephone from Germany.
