Love on a Horse Page #2

---

She'd take him In her arms and

they cried together.

They both knew she was going to die.

They would listen to songs,

laugh and cry...

This went on for six months.

Until one morning, Larry...

walked in her room...

put the record on for her...

but she was dead.

He believes I rejoiced in her death.

He'll never stop hating me.

I tried to convince him otherwise

but in vain.

Larry will never forget his mother.

He told me I have her eyes.

And that he's not sure If he hates

or adores me.

Is it true?

Yes.

You have his mothers eyes.

So, he was crying?

While listening to the gramophone.

Let him not know about our talk.

Not sure how he'll take it.

An idea was swirling around

in my head...

If only I could relive my youth...

Be again as I was then...

Be like Larry.

Like Larry who was right there

before me,

who was my son,

who was my blood,

who was me in contempt for myself,

he despised me

like my old self despised

my present one...

the impotent one,

the old one, the finished one...

I had to do something and

relive the past...

relive my youth.

Some crazy notions crossed my mind.

Crazy...

but at that point seamed

magnificent to me...

Really amazing...

Hold it...

That's it.

What's the carnival for?

Gone mad you two?

Larry son, I know exactly

what I'm doing.

Come and pose for me.

Put this on and you'll see.

These, too.

Dance. Love each other.

Kiss while dancing.

Kiss her, Larry. Kiss her.

Come on, boy. Kiss her.

It might as well be me.

It's the same thing.

That's it.

Kiss... Kiss.

Kiss each other.

That's it.

That's mother's wedding dress.

And I was wearing this tuxedo.

While you danced with her,

I thought it was me in my youth days.

What else could you be with my blood

running through your veins?

lam... you

in 40 years' time

and you are me

40 years back.

And why dress us up like that?

The moment of inspiration

I feel an electric charge

in my brain.

After that there's no control.

You just let your Imagination go

and lead you wherever.

The main thing Is I got my

form back.

Alexis...

Say it.

- Come and see who funny he looks.

- Who?

- Larry In that hat.

- He's one little Alexis.

Julia and Larry intermingled fine,

a divine Interminglement

never seen before

and I, through them, relived.

I was reborn.

Through their youth

I earned life anew.

It was a splendid thing.

Divine.

Magic.

Belonging to me

more that ever before.

Now I've got you tied up to your guilt.

The sweet taste of transgression...

You can never getaway.

And I'll feel younger with you there.

New powers spring up in me.

I exist again through you.

And HI always exist even when

not alive.

Alexis, are you asleep?
