Fluid Skeleton
I thought I saw a slight tremor in the air,
A warning, curling round molecules
The noises, motionless
Flashing from separate parts of the crowd
As we swam through arms and legs,
Still as though in ice or plastic
Bodies ready,
Waiting for darkness to arise.

For the Indie Ink Writing Challenge this week, Kat challenged me with "Begin with 'I thought I saw...'" and I challenged Lance with "Black and white".
Good work. I love your opening line especially. Very pretty.
ReplyDeleteYour words are always very moving, Lilu, and always very powerful. This short piece was no exception.
