Challenge #5, Prompt #1
Overall: 83 words; 64 for inside text.
We are butterflies in the sun,
drunk with light
and blinded by love.
It's a combination of
featherlight nips
and barely seen fingertips
that draws the body
to the edge of the precipice.
Happiness skitters
across the nerves
in a strange cadence
of urgency and lassitude
all at once.
The body stretches
and then arches
in a perfect display
of musculature
and finesse.
Softly, we landed on a bed
of crumbs and coffee,
greeting the coming morning
with gentle murmurs
and lazy kisses.
