Fear came from her eyes. It passed through each clouded lens.
Her lower lids over flowed with warm tears that tipped over and rolled to moisten slight crepe-like aging flesh.
She is alone to melt in the sun light.
He is gone.
Numbness fills her body. Natures sweet elixir. She blinks and she forgets.
She forces a smile, a laugh and then feels guilty for being--gulity for feeling a moment of joy.
Like an out of place daisy on a dark path, sunny moments sprout out of no where.
Today she saw a beautiful man drenched in sparkling pool water. Water dripping from his chest made her heart beat faster. Her face burned. Her heart felt heavy. She felt it thump, thump, thump. Her belly felt warm. Then she remembered--she is alone.
She thinks of entering the empty house where his dresser drawers are neatly organized. All the socks, shorts, shirts and underwear sit perfectly folded never be warn again, not by him-not by anyone.
The sun turns her tears to salt.
She wipes away the grit under her eyes.
She is uncovered left naked.
