Very sweet trysting scene... Very poignant. Very real in our never ceasing quest to stop the hands of time to savor the special and spectacular.

Ha! - my first, unconsidered reaction was that this could have been entitled 'In Playing Away' :) In less frivolous terms, your words bring me home to recognition that it seems increasingly rare for people to find, or even welcome, the opportunity to share private, intimate, unscheduled interludes. CCTV/digital capture, reality TV, 24 hour news, blogs, journals, podcasts, cell phones and pagers...one is company, but two falls short of the ubiquitous crowd. So, a welcome time-out here for me - I assume there wasn't a webcam running on this episode :) Time is space...

"Our bodies still humming from the dance" Exactly. I love the rooted plant comparison, the fertility of it all....I especially love this feeling which you have described so well...

Hi Chris, Great write. Very interesting. I also agree with of the others too. :)

"... the sting of band-aid/being pulled away/from tender hearts...." - my favorite line. Very sensual and a little poignant, but with a lovely resolution - nice economical use of language, too - well done! d:-)

it never stops does it... but pretending it's locked away is fun... i just wish it didn't always catch up.
