One Word

Today's One Word is: Hush

hush, she thought, looking at the bare indian man sitting on the edge of her bed. look at me, one last time, but don't speak. it'll ruin the perfection...it will ruin the solitude of the melding mortal serenity. just wait in silence, eyes fixed on each other, it reflects the pain so well, knowing this will be the last time she holds him. but we're not done. we are connected....hush, she tells him, putting her hand over his mouth, don't think, just feel. express me.
