The cliffs are covered by a dusty blue like someone has smudged them out with an eraser, the stubborn last trace of a lasered tattoo. She hates palm trees, says they are useless because they don’t offer shade. I love them because they represent somewhere other than home, somewhere forever warm.
Do you remember when you pushed and pulled yourself across the bed and over me, when I asked you to finish my mouth? You came on my stomach and laughed Sorry it’s hard to maneuver and I said breathlessly This is good too.
Breathlessly—Is there ever a time to use the word breathlessly?
“I said while catching my breath”
“raspingly” (just as bad)
“I breathed”
“I stated in a breathy way”
What is the difference in breath and breathless?
Today I watched the waves surge and swell and climax and crash, whitecaps coming together like the ribbons of your hips, like legs. What would happen if you didn’t believe everything that you think?
