Part of my identity is as a writer, and I'm partial to the short story form although clearly there's a bit of a love of creative nonfiction as well. A few years ago a friend suggested I share some of my short stories on my blog, and finally I'm ready to do so. So from time to time, I'll post a short story that I've written. Hope you enjoy!
Perfection
You
have small bright teeth; they form a constellation in your mouth.
I try to get at them, to loosen the
lips with pretty words or force. But you
like to keep them from me; you like to control their appearances, flashing them
at unexpected moments, leaving me dizzy.
I long to pry your mouth open to find
the plush soft tongue and lay my head there looking at the stars.
beautiful.
