~colour~
When she closes her eyes she can see the paint spilling across her canvas. Taken at first glance everything is rust and dirt and endless emptiness. Shallow, passive eyes cannot see the varying depths where blood blends with coral, where gold becomes the thirst-quenching bite of starfruit. There is an abundance of life below the surface, pallid thin stalks of grass, tiny shrubs struggling on dunes. Creatures who dart too fast to get more than an idea of shape. If she can just crack him open somehow, would all that come pouring out?
~song~
The strings are a little worn, and the body a little warped by the elements. And maybe her voice isn’t all that it should be, a touch off key as she sings it from memory, a melody and words from a far away time in a far away place. Knowing what she knows, though, it could have been written about Ben. In spirit if not directly things she’s heard him mutter when he doesn’t think she’s really listening. She does. More often than not it is all that she can really do. She doesn’t know that maybe he’s listening now.
~scent~ She props her chin on the bridge of his shoulder and turns her face inward, into his neck. She can lose herself in the thickness of the black waves that brush against her bone-structure as if they intended to bar her passage. A hint of soap brushes against her senses. Overlain by sun’s-heat-on-skin, dry-air so desperate for moisture, wood pulp, soft cotton. Salt. Something subtle and herbaceous she can’t quite put a finger on try though she might. It tempts her more than the melting treat in her hand, but she doesn’t bite. Doesn’t want him to move at all so she can remain.
~sound~
She can feel the movement of muscle as he lashes out with his tongue and licks the ice-cream offering relief to the cooling evening swelter, and his entire throat vibrates as he describes exactly how they dispose of the jogger who keeps a choke-chain on a very small dog and yanks it viciously to ‘motivate’ the little beast. The imagery has merit, poetic justice she would say, and the dark rumble of his bitten back laugh. It reminds of the crunch of autumn leaves and the brisk shiver of a misty breeze. A campfire burning. All things briefly lived.
~setting~
Desert just before the monsoon breaks the heat. A crisp sky and full moonlight neither hot nor cold. Yearning. Reaching out. Silhouetted. She wakes.
~fashion style~
The hem of his shirt flirt with her knees. Envelopes her and whispers his secrets across her skin. She wonders if his fingertips would do the same. Would the stories be new? Less cool, more accented? She doesn’t know...yet. But the thieved henely is worn smooth, butter soft. Protective in many ways. Envelopes her when she curls up and holds herself close. ~feeling~
Ben is complex and he’s patient. Ben feels like waiting. Waiting and hoping on a winter morning, or for the promise of spring to be fulfilled. He’s the wish before midnight and the held breath just before sunrise, just before you reach out and hit the snooze button. Just before. He’s all the things that run headlong into the barricade of the back of your teeth and you wanted to say but only stood there and watched with too big eyes and not any voice. It’s not fear. But carefulness. It’s holding onto the idea that maybe everything isn’t so different after all. That you have to strain close and maybe you’ll hear an echo. ~animal~ Beth’s friends tell her of their ‘aumakua. Though it is a little less personal in nature, as far as she can gather, perhaps more in another way of looking at it. One of the most interesting concepts for her is that it is spoken of, thus:
“Raven was not thought of as a god. He was thought of as the transformer, the trickster. He was the being that changed things—sometimes quite by accident, sometimes on purpose.”
Not a god nor demon, neither hero nor villain. Then there’s other similarities from the colour of his hair to the sharpness of his profile. The miles of wingspan remind her of long limbs.
Makes her wonder if Raven is hidden somewhere in his ancestral tree. She’s also sure if she calls him ‘birdie’ that he will never speak to her again.
~holiday~
She appears from the side of his place like a dark little menahune. Lifts her cupped hands up and blows red, green, pink, and purple dust on him before producing a cup of water and arcing it up and at him, intending to douse his hair. She misses by a couple of inches instead and looks appropriately apologetic immediately after.
”I...it’s Holi,” she says. Goes onto explaining the festival of arriving spring, and the blossoming of love. That it is a day to meet, play, laugh, forgive and forget, and to repair broken relationships. “Come play with me, Ben.” And then she runs.
~season~
“Be my winter. My restive season, be the dark of the year and the promise of sun’s rebirth. And I will be your summer, your ever burning sun and warmth, the time of fullest plenty, whaddya say?”
