Microbiology

The role of fantasy,

an "intuitive microbiology":

Where her body pushes forward and her mind plays minstrel and monster. A chemical surge of adrenaline, cortisol, and the scent of grapefruit. 

She will become delirious. 

T-shirts and gym shorts. 

What kind of feminine is this? 

The first of Spring. 

The taste of salt and bittersweet feeling of disappointment braided with glory.

Triumph comes slowly 

and she waits for the downpour like the rain.  

In the meantime,

she stares at her hands as they age.
