He remembers her hands
Reading his back like braille.
He can still feel kisses
Across his shoulders
Down his spine
Gently mapping his back
With her lips as if she knew.
In the dark hours
When his mind wanders
And sleep eludes him
He can still see her eyes
When he would not answer.

AnElephant wonders what story she read.
And whether she asked the right question.
Tu écris les mots, les pensées, qu’il cherche mais qu’il ne trouve jamais.

Thank you Mike. So often it is the unspoken that touches the most. I hoped to convey that.

Every post is beautifully rendered. This one caused silly Willy Nilly to pause his tale chasing and dream a bit, maybe mourn a little. Even cheeky dragons yearn for a delicate touch. 🙂

Thank you Willy Nilly. Looks like you and I engage in the same pursuits: chasing tales, dreaming and leaving traces behind in tiny scratches in black on white.
Hmmm. I feel mischief coming on. 🙂
