Drabble #23 – Don’t let the green
grass fool you.
I can run my fingers through your hair and feel the deepest
cracks of the streets in Bombay. I can shove my hands down your
pockets and find foreign money tucked to the bottom of your
favorite jeans, forgotten and washed so many times. I can
skitter my knuckles across your skin and feel the moon shining
in Ireland. “The moon doesn’t shine,”
You’d say “It just reflects the sun’s
light.” Like us. I no longer wait for you to leave again,
or for life to get better. I’ve learned to live in this
moment, something that you taught me.
