Drabble #51 – I drink you in (and
breathe you out)
I tugged all of my seams loose waiting. I became desperate. I
dipped my feet in icy water like you used to when it got too
hot. It gave me chills, but not the good kind. I miss when it
was ninety degrees outside and you would still make me shiver.
Like clouds eclipse over the sun in a concaving blue sky, you
always had a way of extinguishing the red in my touch.
Sometimes you don’t know something’s broken until
you touch it, and feel the empty spaces shift around. Sometimes
you don’t know something’s gold until you fit its
mold and come away with marks that shimmer.
