"My Favorite Things" (2) by Angela ThomasLaying with you was
like falling onto a
warm blanket of sand.
It's not the kind of
sand that pricks you
and hurts, no, it's
powder-white and fine,
conforming and smooth.
All the while, I felt like
I was in danger of breathing
too deep, closing my
eyes, and inhaling too
many grains. Still,
every time I looked up,
I saw you,
a delicately scaped dune,
precarious and perfectly
formed.
