Breathing Steven

(She steps out, she does
'How, darling? why, darling?'
I say, 'Come 'round here, sweetness please'
And she does

Meanwhile...)

purge merge
or otherwise surge
___
he wakes
shakes
holds out a hand
and takes
___
he strides
over as if
this is christmas
he is your gift
___
'why now?', she says
'why right now?'

Thanks for your comment, {minion}. Glad it appeals. The 'black text' wasn't meant to be hidden. I must've pressed the wrong button, made it black on black. Just went with it in the end!

It's part of a longer thing I'm working on - a musical thing. Breathing Steven is one character.

Oh that is interesting that Minion put up the beginning part.Because I can't see that part on my computer. I like this piece very much. I like the fact that there is a kind of 'sweetness' that hides something lurking and sinister beneath. For me, it's like the male character *wants* to be the christmas present...but she doesn't really want it...and is hiding behind a facade of wanting and pretence. But perhaps that is just me. It could be read in two different ways...one quite sweet and another way quite sinister.
