Sappy Tree Root

Take a breath. Life is beautiful. The weeds, flowers, sunshine, our perfect hearts. The sensation of skin touching. Fresh and supple and together. Deep. Slow sex in the morning. Footsies.

The 911 responses were a joke here! They call and say there is a possible kidnapping/hostage situation, with a gun and child, and the one operator hangs up, the second says, ” We don’t have a unit available to send.” Our ancestors helped them both survive by putting a fight in that little one, so powerful that they had no choice but to live.
