why did i work so hard on this?
Late morning sun shone in to the motel room from above the cheap air conditioner in the window, picking up millions of tiny dust motes hanging in the air, their negligible masses overcome by the breathing, the moving, the sweating of the man and woman below them.
His eyes moved across her naked form only thinly veiled by a translucent polyester sheet. Her long legs caused the sheet to form around them, revealing their sinewy, lean strength, their power, and the perfect smoothness of their skin. The continuous line formed by her shin bent purposefully around her knee, which stabbed up in to the air like a graceful but defiant mountain. It ran over her hamstring and on to her hips. The sheet just teasingly brushed her pelvis, barely covered her vagina, and stopped just short enough to show an inviting bit of her pubic hair. He stared in to that region, that heart of this woman, that gateway to her sex. He marveled at her hips like a prehistoric Venus figurine, the only thing in the universe capable of motherhood. That gated garden he had been allowed in to so recently, but that he had no invitation to. He had been let in through back door like a thief, and he didn't know how or why, could never repeat it. He moved up to her stomach. No bikini tan lines here, just the same shade of natural and indifferent white. The skin covered her abdominal muscles like they were hot coals just barely contained. A thin, lightly defined line in between them connected her navel to her ribcage, her beating heart, her breathing lungs, combusting, burning, moving inside of her, like her soul was on fire. No, not, just on fire, in the middle of a nuclear reaction. Hydrogen was fusing inside of her like a star, on to helium, then helium fusing in to beryllium, decaying quickly but fusing again to carbon, oxygen, neon, magnesium, on and on, producing immeasurable amounts of heat and energy. And her breasts sat atop this fusion reaction, bare, naked, unashamed, like two massive mountains barely affected by gravity. And his eyes moved on to her collar bones, the tendons in her neck and the blood vessels that transported the heat of the nuclear fusion in her chest on to her brain, her face. Her sharp, shadowed, defiant face. She always looked like she knew more than you, like she was thinking something beyond you and above you. Her dark eyes were closed now but when open they shot at you like black lasers. Her bare, makeupless face and her mid-length dark hair spread out on the sweat-stained pillow. She was like a desert landscape, pure, arid, untouchable and outside of time.
He wished he could have been touching her with his eyes the whole time. He wished he could touch her at all, really touch her. They had barely kissed, when they got the room and jumped through the door. Barely talked, barely known eachother's names. They just fucked, and he meant fucked, not had sex, not made love, fucked was the only word for it. It was dirty and meaningless and fun and distant. He was allowed in to her garden only when it was unlit and unclean. He knew he could probably never go back, and had expected her to be gone by the time he woke up. She was this perfect circle, this running, revving, infinite engine, and he was a line. A line going nowhere along an exacting and unchangeable path, entirely predictable and inescapable. And he had been allowed to be tangent to her circle just this once, this one day, intersecting at exactly one zero-dimensional point, then moving on, forever, never touching again, for his line could never bend back around. He had one dimension and she had two, three, four, so many dimensions he couldn't fathom them. He was like a plastic bag being blown around by the winds of the world, getting caught in this living, breathing sequoia of a woman for just one moment before being kicked out of her branches. Please, let me know you. Please let me touch you again, just one more time, just to know you once more. I love you. I need you. I have so much to give, so much I can be and I can't be any of it on my own. I've never met anyone or anything like you and I can never go back. But no, she was beyond him. He couldn't even say it.
"What?"
She woke up right then, with no grogginess, completely alert as if she had never slept. He hadn't said anything. He was sure he hadn't said anything. He felt uncomfortable with her nakedness, as he could now see her vagina after she had moved, seeing her show it like it was just another part of her body while to him it was so much more. He guarded his penis closely and suddenly wanted to be fully clothed, but couldn't move from her gaze.
"What? Nothing. I didn't say anything."
"I'm pretty sure you did."
Wait, shit, did I?
"Uh well then I don't know what it was."
"Mmmm-hm. Right. Whatever you say. And there's nothing you'd like to say?"
He felt way too weird now to talk. She knew.
"Uh no what the hell does that mean?"
"Well good. Fuck off, I was sleeping."
She rolled over, now showing him her back, her muscular back and her spine flowing down to her butt, her vagina just barely visi-
"Oh, and stop being such a faggot."
