Impression on the pillow Oct. 22, 2012

 

 

 All that is left is the impression in a pillow next to mine where her head never lay, only in my imagination, with me above, pressing down, watching her face get that look she only gest when on the verge of it, the slow motion rapidly speeding up amid the groans (some of which are mine and some still are) as I try to replicate what I managed once as real, alone, stroke by stroke, the impression the pillow going deeper as I do, all that is left is what I imagined once but never was, the indentation left by my wishes for it to have been, pressing myself down, making her look the way she does ever on the verge, after having expended so much energy to stoke her up, to drag out of her those sounds only come with some much effort, the in and out of it, stoking a fire within, pushing her down into that pill to keep its impression long after any possibility of it becoming real, stroke by stroke.
