Under the Stars With You
Another Rant About My Singleness and How the One Guy I Like Doesn't Like Me Back
Wrapped in your gentle embrace
Under a violet sky.
Surrounded by your fragrance
And a bird's soft lullaby.
---
The breath of sweet lilacs
Mingling with the stars.
Red firelight, sparks crack
This twilight is ours.
---
Whispers of silken cotton clouds
Steeped in rose and copper and gold.
No people, no humans, no crowds
Alone, toes touching water cold.
---
Moonlight touches our faces
As out lips draw close for a tender kiss.
Then out of a dream I'm chased
Out of the starry lilac sky I slip.
---
I awake in my bed
You're nowhere to be seen.
I lift my heavy head
To see the same moonbeam.

The Fish Song
The room didn’t smell like disinfectants. Its fragrance seemed light and not overbearing. A soft mixture of lavender and mint permeated the space. No beeping machines or any tubes hooked up to four-year-old Kaleeka. Her cacao skin seemed to glow from the light over her head. The family, save for one and the doctors and nurses exited the room like a trail of saints showing their last vestiges of regard.
