The first too-hot sip of coffee, lightened with cream, flashing across your teeth and tongue, heating your throat all the way down to your stomach.
The bright, clean snap of a green bean just picked off the vine, smelling of earth and life and sunshine.
The color of light passing through a glass of red wine, flashing on the table and piano.
The rain as it drives into the stone of the patio and falls from the eaves-- a harsh wave of indistinct sound broken by loud intermittent splashes.
The way the hearth fire glows, breathing orange and red and black, with a subdued crackling and a sudden snap, sending sparks eddying through the air.
The way your body sinks into the mattress at the end of a long day, your muscles aching, oozing into a puddle, your bones separating slightly, falling deeper into your body as you exhale.

Comments are always welcome, unless you are going to be mean, in which case you can go straight to hell.
Please leave at least some form of name so I don't get all paranoid and think you are a stalker or my mother.
