PA prompt- Following

Following Two Crows

I am

Enrapt

In the silence

Of nothingness. I revel

In the mere state of being

Perfect refuge from an ill-fated

Day. A quick glimpse in the rearview

Mirror reflects moisture-glistened skin

My tongue sweeps across the beady moustache,

A salty treat for my parched mouth.

Sweat slowly slips into deep dark

Crevices, the innermost secrets

Of my curvaceous body. I

Slowly wiggle closer to

The open window

Hoping for some

Relief,

Yet

The

Stifling air

Remains inert, a prisoner

In the hot afternoon sun. Two crows

Play in grassy sand- jumping, poking and

Then flying away. My eyes follow their

Paths to clear blue sky, and land on an

Array of cumulus clouds. A perfect

Cloud angel comes into focus.

Cottony wings are opened

Wide, inviting me

Inside. Suddenly

I know this day

Has not been

In vain.

Enrapt

I am.
