Air Cocoon

In the darkness, I think of you, of your arms I will soon feel again.

The void around me turns layers and becomes tangible. It is as if the particles of air were rising up along my lines to try and mimic your presence, recreating an illusion of your caresses in your absence.

What a delightful substitution mechanism. I can never feel alone.

I let this inebriating flow born of our encounter, wrap me up and be replayed by my imagination.

Cocon Aérien

Dans l’obscurité, je pense à toi et à tes bras que je vais bientôt retrouver. 

Le vide s’habille autour de moi et revêt de la matière, comme si les particules d’air se mobilisaient le long de mes lignes pour tenter d’imiter ta présence et recréer l’illusion de tes caresses en ton absence.

Quel délicieux mécanisme de substitution. Je ne me sens jamais seule.

Je me laisse envelopper par ce flux enivrant, né de la rencontre physique de nos êtres et rejoué par mon imagination.

    1. Haha! Yep! Got woken up by my grandma coughing. I never sleep much when I visit her, but it’s always sweet. I am glad I could transport you once again. Whenever I succeed at doing that I feel elated ❤ thank you for your words 🙂

      1. And thank you for yours 😉. Although I am surprised you haven’t dismissed me as too easy to please yet 😅. You always seem to produce something amazing.
        I hope your grandma gets better soon. I’m sure she is as pleased to see you as you are to see her. She even has you to read your own words to her 🙂

  3. Hmm, I’ve experienced a similar thing, as if the imagination wishes to play a hologram of sorts.
    Perfectly described.
