FIRST PLACE WINNER!
Beneath the evening sky, she eludes me.
But today is different.
She aims to tease.
The virginal white of her dress curls around her ebony legs, mocking my innocence, and I am crippled by infatuation.
She is sunlight.
The wind shifts, the clouds gather, and my bowels twist in dismay. Though luminous and constant as the stars, she must soon set as nature demands.
I reach for the hand she pulls away, her coy smile beckoning me forward. My fingertips strain toward the fragile bones of her wrist, and I hold my breath to pray.
We touch.
Her silky heat shimmies down my spine, and I bite off a groan for the moment is sacred. I am alive again, the Word become flesh, and my heart of stone weeps for joy. I lick my lips, craving her taste, and there is a sad sigh on high.
I ask too much.
A sprinkle of snow tickles my nose, and my celestial savior drifts away, the gentle coda of a long lost song. I stand helplessly by as she fades into night, chasing the stardust she leaves behind.
Then I wake up.
