The story

Blackened bone trees scratch cracks in the

cloudless gray sky devoid of emotion. I sit

huddled inside myself waiting for your

appearance. Time sifts itself slowly as I wait.

You were evasive and elusive at our last

meeting. All pointed and sharpened bits sticking

out. When I tried to kiss you, you resisted,

elegantly insisting that we move cautiously and

carefully. I marveled at the wariness you had

cultivated in such a short time. When I

attempted to embrace you, you brusquely pushed

asked for information but you declined my

invitation to enlighten. You were not yourself

but I was still me, in love with you and not

of uncertainty, I question the very fabric of my

being, the cells of my body rising up to question

their existence, my soul struggling to

comprehend the alterations. The cafe is closing

and I am departing without solace.
