We deconstructed our bodies and then put ourselves together in different shape.
You were a soft velvet deer and I came out a white wolf.
We dressed in each other's skin and the clothes felt warm but somehow strange...
I remember the next morning... the taste of your breasts remained sweet in my hands.
Your contracting thigh muscle is still the best part of my lips. I can feel its taste every time my tongue wanders outside in search of you.
I kept a few strands from your hair, close to my left ear. They whisper of late summer winds and of love that will never be.
In the distance the cranes have already started to migrate. The cherry tree

We are falling from the top of a thousand storey building.
The girl to my left dreams of flying.
The guy in front can only feel the wind in his face.
I mostly contemplate the concrete below.
We get distracted by the occasional passage of birds.
On the horizon clouds gather in marvelous shapes. I smile and tell them about it. They look and smile back at me.
Abruptly the horizon disappears.
The concrete is soft and welcomes us.
And nature celebrates our Fall.

I'll admit it: I'm a heartless bastard. (No pun intended, given the review material...) I didn't cry when E.T died. I didn't shed a tear for Bambi's mum. I didn't even blub at "The Bucket List". (Although given that me and a good friend shared a bottle of wine whilst watching it, my entire conversation slowly devolved into "Morgan Freeman ish awesome! Look! Heesh drivin' a CAR!")
So perhaps it's not suprising that I didn't tear up at this touching, timeless story of a man who gives up 45% of his bodily organs, then commits suicide-via-cnidarian for a woman he's known for all of 2

And that's where my problem lies.
Bridget Jones is a loser. She's horribly clumsy, a terrible singer, has the most insensitive, embarrassing mother on the planet, and can barely cook without poisoning her guests. She's sensitive about her weight, to the point that she cr

To bridge the swollen sludge-filled fissure.

So you make me close my eyes and tilt my head back
