reaching


There is no map showing the correct path out of dust and shadow. I resign myself to quietly aging and dying beneath the stairs. I listen for the click of high-heels on the hardwood floors upstairs. I hold my breath and masturbate when a woman comes down the stairs. My pale hand reaches out of the shadows for her thigh. My pale hand reaches and reaches without ever touching.
