Sacrament

Head bowed, you kneel before me,
I am your church, your priest, your religion.

…this is my body which shall be given up for you…

Solemn, you raise your eyes, part your lips,
receive this communion.
Your tongue tracing a silent prayer on my skin,
immortality lies within my pulse,
within your hand,
within our reach.

…take this, my blood…

For a split second of divinity, we become incandescent,
blinding the onlooking angels and saints.

…I am not worthy to receive you…

Heaven’s gates crumble,
incinerated by our holy fire.

…but only say the word and I shall be healed…

He gripped her hand tighter as they walked through the door.

She didn’t notice the chill he always felt, and smiled as if to say well?

“There, on the walls, don’t you see them?”

“See what?”

Starkly etched on the walls, like human shadows burnt into the streets of Hiroshima, are the dreams of his childhood. Vaporised on that sunny morning half a lifetime ago.

But they are ghosts echoing at a frequency she can never know or recognise, memories from a time before their souls first resonated as one.

“Yeah”, he will smile, “I’m mistaken, it’s nothing, let’s go”.

“This won’t work, I’ve tried”
Stroking my cheek, she says:
“Don’t worry, I was much smaller back then and they crushed mine fine as sand … I can fix this!”
She closes her eyes and, as time swirls slow like honey, I comprehend her perfection, a child hurt and lost, now grown deeper and stronger than the oceans she once knew.
“Its done” she says opening her eyes, smiling.
Tears soak my face, dissolving all distinction between her and the warm sun beyond:
“But how ….”
“Easy” she whispers; “I taught myself when it was dark and time was endless”.

I put this in 100 words ... well everyone needs a limit don't they?
