Leaping
“It wasn't difficult. His sense of betrayal…it wasn't hard to ask her…to demand it.
"Please…please…let me explain." "How did you find me?" "Alisha," she said, still naked, her hair her only covering sitting on the floor still, and him already standing, dressing.
Double betrayal…his…tryst…and his sister and she was so damn open with him…this woman…this woman who needed to cover herself.
"You have to go. Go now. I don't want to see you again. Go now." He found her clothes, lonely discarded…crumple...d…her jeans, her underclothes, her blouse, her pride. He flung these at her, in her direction, and she made no move, but she sat there, naked, untied, undone, unholy, unwanted, scab, scar, intrusion.
"Get out," he said louder, "get out," and he did not know himself, this voice, these movements, "get out." He wouldn't run and hope and cower and steal and stealth…she had to go, he went to the door, then he saw her pan of soup and he went for this and he took it out on the porch and he threw it and the lid and the pot and the white slash of soup, and the gray, gray, gray world.MoreLess
