July Challenge - Fourth Week Masterlist

Day 25:
Out of the mournful sweetness of touching
comes love
like breakfast.

held in your hand by lady_krysis (The Losers, Jolene/Pooch)

Day 26:
The lady of water, rising on the beach,
a piano at her fingertips, shame
on her lips and a flute's speech.

Day 27:
Still, I search these woods and find nothing worse
than myself, caught between the grapes and the thorns.

Day 28:
At last!
she cried out,
and locked the door.

Day 29:
Dearest,
although everything has happened,
nothing has happened.

Day 30:
You do not love anyone. She is not growing a boy;
she is enlarging a stone to wear around her neck.

Day 31:
they both die like waves breaking over me
and I am drowning a little,
but always swimming

Rating: PG-13
Pairing: Agemaki/Zakuro
Summary: Agemaki's a coward, and Zakuro isn't, and that's all there is to it.
Content Notice: None
Disclaimer: No infringement intended, I don't own the series, etc.
Author's Note: My prompt was:
Blind with pain she limps home.
The thoroughbred has stood on her foot.
He rested there like a building.
He grew into her foot until they were one.
The marks of the horseshoe printed
into her flesh, the tips of her toes
ripped off like pieces of leather,
three toenails swirled like shells
and left to float in blood in her riding boot.

Day 17:
I open the eyes
and they go sick like dogs
with what they have seen.
