Egress

Behind closed eyes, anything is possible. Your smile, your body long against mine.  When I open them, you’re never the yellow butterfly that poses on my glass of wine the first fine spring day. Even so, I just can’t help but peek.

 Why does the caged bird sing? asks   My answer # 4 :)

  3. Excellent words here, Kymm. My sort of prose i.e. a bit ethereal/floaty but something we can all relate too.

  9. Love the voice behind '...can't help but peek.' Could see the shrug of the shoulders before she opens her eyes. Beautiful.
