let it spill quietly from your hands - Indra - November 28, 2018
@Merrick
she woke with a start, panting.
the dream (nightmare?) clung to her, fleeing fast on rapid hoofbeats the way dreams were wont to do. a dark shadow, a nameless face. a menace. the rush of water, distant but dangerous -- and somehow, trapped between it all, the peril of her only child --
"merrick," indra gasped, shifting upright and crawling across the den. she had fallen asleep in a pool of golden sunlight and her child was nowhere to be found. her heart hammered against the spring of her breasts, and she pulled out from the den --
a little too fast,
a little too panicked,
but he was there, thank god: her shoulders fell as the panic unwound from her body. for reasons she could not name or say she stepped over to him and pressed her head gently to him; a gesture of holding and having and love - he was okay, it was all a dream -- right?
