SHORT STORY

June 2014 or 2016

I met a lady

Long and cool.

She spoke to me in dark chocolate whispers..

Some say it should read "husky..

But..

They were so rich,

They tatted the texture of goose bumps on my skin.

What does that mean?

What does it matter?

Just accept..

That your ears taste the air in search of a mystery.

She is a syllable serving her sentence

Amidst the otherwise mundane...

A musical note,

Hidden in a poem...and...

I found her in the heap of my scattered dreams,

And I was an inkblot in her otherwise ordered world...

She left,
