Rodriguez.
He's a battered, broken ragdoll, all bruised and
spent and tossed with mangled limbs, leaking cotton wool. Among hot
dust and glass and her.
The kiss was not a kiss. It
was blood and dirt and warm, wet steel, silver plated poison. The
voice, burning acid on open wounds. The gunshot, scissors to his
puppet strings. Thunder crackling through head and heart. Buried
alive in shadow black. Breathing death and life.
He swallows smoke with tender lips, inhaling air and flame and she. Breeze and echo rustle light and change her name to null.
And he sees. He sees everything.
