Apogee by Sara K. Penrod Thursday, July 20, 2006 Rated "PG13" by the Author. Share Print Save Become a Fan
Apogee With you, pillow talk means lox lines and external fuel tanks. I have only the vaguest notion of what these are. On hot August nights, you try to trace constellations, but stars dance past my eyes. I put out my tongue because I dreamed I could catch them like powdered sugar, tingeing my saliva with sweetness. And now, each night I lie beside you, and I know there is more than plasma and planetary dust in the vacuum between our bodies. You roll over and mutter about O-rings and heat tiles.
