Label Text:
The text of this image is: On hot summer nights, when he couldn't sleep, all those longings that had slept in him during the day would come awake and fill his mind. He would touch the moist hair on his chest and feel his flat stomach, and his stomach would become the stomach of the one his desired. And then his thighs would become the thighs of the one he desired, and his body became the body of the one he desired. He would make love to himself, and then he would sleep.
