Parted

hellenbarroso,

Mosquito bites on my neck,

Quickly, swiftly.

Sharp pain.
 

Give in to desire,

Feverish body.

Burning sensation.
 

Ropes bind hands to the post,

Slow breaths.

Engulfed tightly.
 

The second hand tics,

One, two,

Three…release.

 

Droplets of saltwater fall down my face,

Hot, wet,

Arms wrapped.

Many things have inspired me along the way, from the way that atoms interact to universal forces working in tandem to bring joy into my life. I earned a Bachelor's degree in Biological Chemistry from Grinnell College and a Master's of Science in Education and Social Change from the University of Miami. Currently I am a high school science educator studying at Florida Institute of Technology to become a Board Certified Behavior Analyst. What can I say? An educated mind is a lively soul!
