[begin]
warmth of a hug, light of a smile, passion of a kiss, ferocity of sex, fireworks, brilliant stars, shattering glass, goose feathers, cold water, moments of silence, bits of sunshine, shadows of moonlight, golden beams.
pause.
laughter of a child, crushing of a can, leaves crunching in the winter, crisp wind on a sunny day, clear blue sky.
pause
cat's soft fur, bird's sharp beak, dog's panting breath, the burn at the back of your throat when drinking a cold carbonated beverage first thing in the morning or when you are parched thirsty
[gasp]
pause --
(longer pause because that last stream exerted more energy)
[refocus]
tinny laugh of a sitcom track ..... clickity click clack of fingers tapping on a keyboard ..... gurgling of a fish tank ....
[stream slows down ... .my brain now is recovering ... it begins to notice its surroundings, I suppose]
[refocus]
the sound of my heartbeat, beating not for myself, but for you.
[you see, my thoughts begin and end with you. you are the bookend that holds me together]
