I sat

my cotton skirt damp in the dew on the grass

watching the sun rise

remembering the shape of you

 

remembering my fingertips grazing

the cool of your skin

 

and remembered the days before I knew the

weight of your tears

 

and trembled

slipping forward along with the horizon.

Thanks for looking in, David and Darren. I have to use the mood when it's available, otherwise the rigors of my job render me too exhausted to expand.

Looking forward to seeing everyone around.

Thanks, Ray, Martin, and Suki for your comments, and glad you enjoyed, Colin, Desmond and Sofia.

I often find that I'm at a loss for words and am therefore reticent to say much publicly, but I'm grateful for your kindness.

Quite a change for you Rachel - achingly described and simple but effective. The idea of disorientation is a different take on the long view.
