Drabble #50 – Hot, Top, Flight (Boy
I’m out of sight)
My toes are curling against the worn, chapped leather of your
soles and I’m wondering what roads you have traveled for
them to be so weathered. I’m sure if I walked across the
moon, I would feel you in the dust beneath me, breathe you in
with the stars like little candied bursts painting the universe
on my lungs. Well, I too have been plucked like the strings of
a fiddle. I have been strum to the beat of someone else’s
heart all along. And we're walking down this path and the
treetops are howling and I’m thinking… maybe
that’s not so bad.
Drabble #47 – Eye Wrinkles
Let’s talk about the meaning of life (get all existential
with each other). You can hold my hand and I can pretend to
hate it. Let’s sit together on a Tuesday night and just
mess around, tweak with the dials on our limits and test the
waters of our tear ducts. Let’s get the steps out of the
way and remember how to dance. With names like ours we
don’t even have to ask. Just break and break again,
rebuilding ourselves in the shadow of each other so we always
resemble someone dear in the mirror.
Drabble #44 – Fall with certainty (soft
as simplicity)
There are approximately 206 bones in the adult human body and I
can feel every single one chattering beneath my skin when
I’m around you. Our left lung is slightly smaller than
our right in order to make room for the heart, and I think
it’s just going to have to get used to the squeeze. I can
feel you taking up all the space in there. Touch the soft
webbings of my fingers, my skin longs for you there. I want to
love the sweet truths right out of your lips, but I’ll
take what I can get from you.
