Auden’s Blessing
I simply didn’t care what he was doing anymore.
I worked the whole morning. But sometime after three in the afternoon, an image suddenly flashed through my mind:
Loki, dressed in a black robe, wearing a hooded cloak with the brim lowered slightly, revealing only his sharp nose and his thick fringe. He wrapped his arms around a naked red-haired woman from behind and thrust himself into her.
The entire scene lasted less than ten seconds, yet it was vivid and intense. The woman had her back to him, so I couldn’t see her face. But I knew this wasn’t a hallucination.
