Curtis Ackie quote #76 from Waking Dawn

The heartbeat is an irregular bell tolling the footprints create ammonite patterns in the snow they spiral in serpentine undulations toward a complicated centre of mass forming a beautifully inscribed hieroglyph the earth acting as papyrus. Its all signs and symbols reading the emotions of another is an art and tonight she lacks the imagination needed in order to be creative. Bewitching to behold wings tucked neatly into the back of a loose summer jacket his bare feet dusky and dusty tumble languidly toward her over the soft crumbling ground. Dawn finds her dreams more beautiful to inhabit than reality. To her it becomes more real than the bed sheets shes pulling close to her chest. As he approaches she continues to watch the invocation of her desire. Wherever he steps the snow flees its as if spring flowers from the very tips of his toes. She holds her breath as he slips his hand into hers leading her away from the top of the hill on which they are standing. They dont follow the path instead they tread boldly over willow roots twigs and fern leaves. Looking upwards in order to see the colour of the sky Dawn crosses her fingers for a shade of blue.
