It’s like when you’re staring afar, though there’s nothing there, and even if there is, you didn’t care. It doesn’t last forever; the stretched, flimsy feeling soon dwindles into drowsy solidness. You become aware, eventually.

It’s like that when the tiny beads of his blood call upon each other a mourning, yearning cry. They are pining, seeking wholeness, and they will slither slowly, slowly, till the drop becomes a dollop, becomes a pool, becomes full. In the embrace of the cold earth, they will coalesce into a him, into an almost whole. Once he has eyes enough to open, he will emerge from this frigid womb, feeling new, feeling old.

He will feed. (He has to.) He will become, newly.

He will play odes to the moon, reminisce under its silvery ministrations. He will walk the earths and wander the nights.

Then, someday, she will awaken again, and so will he.
