glow

there is a strange eerie glow, a green dim luminescent haze casting shadows on the walls...
her skin smells so good,
                                     so....familiar.
at first,
            I lightly brush the tip of my nose against her cheek..
                                                                                          I exhale and the warmth of my breath on her face causes her body to quiver ever so slightly.
                                                                      I move my head down pressing my forehead gently against her cheek and position my lips
                                         place my lips on her neck.

 she bites into the bottom right side of her lower lip as her eyes roll upward and to the left.
I am facing her now.
and pull her closer to me

fissure

I hang my head
 my right hand supports the weight

fingers push into my eyes and forehead

my right thumb presses against my temple

a soft warm tear hangs on the inside of my eyelid

not enough to fall and run down my face

but just enough

just enough

The cracks on my hands and fingers
the years and the callouses linger

rough surface areas

crevices

in my skin
