The snow-clad mountain
Solid, softens the edges
Of the gathered clouds
[Author’s Note: Unsui is the Japanese word for novice monks, and means to be free and unhindered as clouds and water. The mountain can be a reference to a Zen master.]

Final Call
She flings her arms around my neck and squeezes me like she’s never going to let me go. My head spins as her lips brush against my cheek. She must be able to feel my heart thumping in my chest. I shuffle backwards and ram my hands into my coat pockets, watching her reach down and heave the rucksack across her shoulders.

I love how the clouds hug the mountain as if to keep her warm! C
I didn't think twice about the title, Unsui, until I read your Authors note. Now it feels so much more. Like it was wonderful to begin with but that title, I think, is perfect for a mountain. That was brilliant! :)
