Max remembers the first time they made love

when she arrived travel-dusty & sweaty

after complications

getting from Basrah to Baghdad. Much afterwards

while they were lying together very close

she’d told him of a pet she’d had, when small:

had given it its scientific name – Macropanesthia rhinoceros.
