Rose
There was a vibration
that shook the ground
and made my body flinch.
It was like an earthquake
and it made me afraid.
The ground seemed
as if it could crack
at any moment.
My hands were shaky
as I struggled to figure out
what was going on.
With my hearing aids ripped off
I couldn't decipher
what the heck was going on.
I bit my trembling lip
and closed my eyes
squeezing them shut
for my dear life.
My heart was racing
faster than I could follow
and I tried to focus.
I had tried this
whenever I was with Caleb.
Focusing on recognizing
him.
His smell.
His body.
His height.
His affect on me.
The stench
of smoke and filth
made my nostrils cough.
Alissa's flowery perfume
was still near.
There is someone with us.
Someone who smokes.
Someone who creates a lot of noise
especially on the ground.
Suddenly,
a cold wrinkled hand
grabs onto my arm
and yanks me up
almost tearing it off.
I cry out
from the sudden pain.
My legs are limp
and my body aches all over.
The cold hand
has a good grip of my arm.
I don't know who this is.
A sudden rush
of ash and filth
clouds my face
and I recoil.
I shove them away
enough to have them
loosen their grip on me.
I turn and focus
on Alissa's presence.
My gut churns
and I know I don't have time
to think.
