Migration
by Kitty Boots
I slept in your shirt for weeks memorizing each molecule of scent and was certain I could pick you out of a hundred others blindfolded.
You ditched me in April.
Holding you by your wrists,
pale, corded, but as slender as mine,
I knew you had it planned.
And I was okay with it because
you kissed like a girl and fucked like a boy anyway.
Besides, I had back-up.
The nightjars called me out to chant.
Gasp. Back-up, indeed. "Nightjars," what a great name. ***
"Besides, I had back-up."
Great!
Love the last line in particular.
Thank you for reading and commenting: Matt, Bill and Samuel.
I liked the last line too.
Thank you, Dulce.
Nice work. Enjoyed.
Thank you, Sam.
Nice work. Backup. *
the last line. ***
Thank you, John and Rachna.
These are powerful... ***
