Short Shorts: Flight, Early Morning

Tuesday, January 29, 2008

These two are old, but I haven't written anything in weeks and this page needs some love.

Flight

He took off with a roaring. The prop blurred and he left the ground not through speed or wind or lift, but through pure magic. The taxi pulled away as his lights rose through the sky, and I slid across the seats to the left window to watch him bank, then turn south, and I watched as the flickering strobes took him farther into the inky sky, watched as the trees flying past hid him, watched long after his twinkling had become indistinguishable from the stars.

Early Morning

It's cold outside and I've lost my gloves, walking through the early-morning frost with my hands deep in my pockets and still freezing, trying to get home to you (curled up under the blankets, the warmth of your nude skin feeding their warmth, a cocoon of comfort made up of you and my down comforter), hurrying to slip into bed beside you, to wake you with my frigid hands on your warm back.
