Le Déluge

The lights of the city flicker, fade; like points of color, filtered crimson like the blood in her veins, and the rain falls down around them, the breeze like a whisper, dying slow, soft against the sounds of a city so dark, so unforgiving that the only hope for redemption lies further, higher - closer to the sky.

They pause, and breathe, and her hand is on his chest as it heaves; his against her neck as she shivers, only half because of the cold. She steadies, slows; sees all the wonder, all the childlike hope in his eyes, all the passion like fire against the growing storm - he is everything she’s been missing from a paint-stained junkie, everything that’s untethered to the filth of the streets and set free to the four winds, left to fly as long as it can, as far as it will. He smells of antiseptics, still, of spice and warmth; not a hint of turpentine. She takes his hand, lets her fingers dance, cuff his wrist; stares into his eyes and sees truths she’s not ready to believe of this world, affection like the buds of love in early spring - the rain will make it new.

If he’s still trying to save the world one person at a time, he’s more than welcome to start with her.
