We don’t hold hands when we walk.
Instead, we keep distance enough to let a person slide shoulder-first between us.
The sea is our home: the sand cold under our feet, and bubbles of froth, finding out our fleeing toes.
You clumsily clamp your curls, gather your skirt and land headily in the heart of the shore – where water teases sand. Where fine pebbles cling in a losing battle.
I see you conspire with the water. I know you know I watch you, with your knees drawn, writing secrets to the sea. You smile innocently as the sea washes your hurried cursive away.
Lips sealed.
We walk along the high tide, decoding silences. Tracing moonbeams, far-off bobbing ships; waves that curl inward, inch by inch, crash by crash, till they forget.
I push you, in a moment of anger.
Genuine hurt flickers.
I glimpse the remains of your secret.
My name.
Sewn Together 
Just how do you do it?
*smiles innocently*do what?
You have a way with detail.
why that discordant lil moment of anger?
hmmmmm :-)i can picture it.
TS, =) sadly, all my pieces are only detail. nothing else. and that’s not the point of writing them. promise.love and squalor, aww, which of you is commenting? the anger’s from being unable to articulate jealousy of a kind. the character doesn’t even KNOW it’s jealousy.AoN: you should. and particularly on the right beach.
well, squalor.naah, jus kiddin. aishwarya.and jealousy? wow, I din even think of that. a lot more respect for this post now.
Salt. Lapping at my feet. Again. Again. A song at the wake. A love song. For someone else.
