Day 2

A Beautiful Way To Drift Into The Day

You Annoying Little Shit

As I slowly drift out of unconsciousness, my first awareness is that inside my eyelids is not completely dark. My brain processes and interprets, “daylight.” Simultaneously, it seems, I am aware of a regular, continual series of noise. My brain processes and the sound resolves into the cooing of a pigeon. The incessant cooing of a pigeon. It’s irritating. In my mind’s eye, I see the image of a steaming pigeon pie. I’ve never had pigeon pie, but give me half a chance right now, you annoying little shit.

My next awareness is of self. I feel tired, resisting waking up. Simba has no bounce, today. I’m on my right side. Immediately, I’m pressed up against your back and we’re spooning. I let the image remain. I can feel your touch on me down the length of my body and on my arms.

Daylight

Noise

Simba has no bounce

Sometime soon

I Feel Your Warmth

Too soon, there’s a vibration and the gentle tones of my phone alarm kick in. I remember I set it as I’d had such a late night and didn’t want to sleep too late. Now fully conscious, I roll over, stretch out and turn the alarm off with my right hand. Then I sink back into a position not quite on my left side, not quite on my back, eyes closed. Immediately, you are backed into my arms again and I feel your warmth. I relax into the sensation for a while.

I think about getting up and roll onto my back. Suddenly, I’m in a massive bed in the quasi-dark. I open my eyes and you are back-lit, sitting up, straddling me. I feel blood begin to flow. I tilt my pelvis to encourage the memory and the feeling. Not quite then, I remember. Not then, and certainly not now. But sometime soon, I tell myself.
