The 10 Project: The Younger Lovers

Write down the name of past lover.  Someone whom you haven't thought about for a long time. Look at his name and remember him.   His body.  The sensation of his touch.  The feel of his lips.

Hear the sound of his voice calling your name, crying out in passion.

Imagine him there with you now.  Think what you might say and do.

Write your lover a love letter telling all the things you felt as if this were then and he were there and still your lover.

Seal the letter up.  Mark the seal with wax.  Place the letter on a table by the fire.  Consider the artifacts of love.  Letters unwritten,unsent, lost to the vicissitudes of time.

Take this artificial artifact, pick it up from the table and place it in the fire.

Watch as the fire consumes the letter, unmaking your re-making of an affair.
