The Moment Between Night and Day (99 words)
All the angry words thrust like rockets into the atmosphere, irretrievable, hovering in the oxygen-drought of space.
Intolerable from my parents, I won’t tolerate it from us.
You take my hand; I want to snatch it back. You kiss my knuckles.
“We were in Manteo listening to that woman perform ‘Night and Day.’ When she sang: ‘we’re both so different,’ she was singing about us.”
I remember. So many years ago, a favorite moment, sepia afternoon, music, walking, loving. Still I feel the breeze cross the Sound, our hands entwined.
“There’s no going back.”
“No, we move forward. Together.”

Such intensity in this interlude, a great exploration of that space between night and day. Well done!
Thank you so much, Charli! 🙂
The dawn can be a beautiful time and space. Not a bad place to live.Well done, as always, Sascha.
You’re right! Dawn is exquisite. Thank you! 🙂
They’re headed in the right direction. I like the take on space between day/night, night/day.
I sense both hope and desperation eloquently written
Thank you so much! 🙂
