AA: Revisited
By FearnHouse


Chilled, and crisp: a mid-November

breeze meanders across a nearly vacant

high-school parking lot. Underneath

the sodium vapor brightness of a

lamppost, alongside a Midnight Black

’97 Plymouth Neon stands a beautiful

teenage girl and a handsome teenage boy;

embraced in a hug…clenching so hard

it seems an auric passion is squeezed out,

adding to the radiance of the light shining upon them



Time disappears; emotions emitted and collected

Pelvises press together, transferring warmth;

her delicate brown eyes meet the gaze of

his electrifying blues (though they are green at

the moment, due to the vibrant yellow rings encircling

the now gargantuan pupils, fusing with

sky blue irises to form a serene forest green)



She smiles, “You know, when

your eyes are dilated that means you are

looking at something that you’re attracted to”

A smile returned, as his vocal chords offer up a chortle,

whose sound waves steadily evaporate

into the void of night

“I wonder who told you that one…”



Eyes illuminate as her body lunges forward

She runs her right hand through his

dusty brown hair, while drawing him nearer

in one motion



Their mouths meet; souls entwining

once more. His hands slowly navigate their

way into her back jean pockets, ardently pulling

her closer. Heart pounding, short of breath,

she peers into his stare, struggling…

“I—I’ve missed you so much”

She doesn’t need a response; she sees

it, reflecting back at her through those

blue (no, green now) beacons of desire and lust

She sees the heartache and the loneliness

glistening in his eyes, piercing into his

stampeded soul…knowing he sees the same in hers



That November wind now tears across the lot,

lashing out at exposed skin, causing him

to grab her whole body into his

Wanting—no—needing to feel

her heat mingle with his…to breed a heat of their own



Grey uncertainty fogs their future,

but tonight is a revisit to a time past,

jumping back into feelings like

a pair of blind trapeze acrobats

searching for the propane to

reignite their flame
