Intimacy

She comes to his place every Wednesday afternoon, only for sex. They don't speak but they seem to have an understanding as they silently lie down together on the carpet. The following week, at the same time, she arrives and they immediately undress. He leads her straight down to the basement that remains unfurnished and bare save the blankets and quilts he has laid down. This is a room where everything is permitted except, apparently, clarity. If sex is how you meet and get to know people, what does he know of her?
