She arrived … with her beauty.

They talked. 
They drank. 
They kissed.

He wanted. 
She wanted.

Are you sure? he asked.
Yes, she said.

Crows cawed.
One for sorrow.
They explored.
Sensing, touching, and tasting.
Two for joy.

Unacquainted … yet familiar. 
Confident … yet nervous.
Safe … yet reckless.

A smile. 
A gasp.
A moan.

Wrapped for safety.
No room for failure. 
So he thought.

You’re beautiful he said.
It’s dark. How can you tell? she asked.
I can feel you he said.

They kissed.
They talked.

She left … with more than her beauty.

Home … not yet.
