Soft smooth skin featured on paisley sheets. Orange, gold and teal compliment lightly tanned skin with dots of brown that reveal origins. Dark curly hair splays wildly on pillows. Strands of silvery grey glint in the streaming sunlight through the blinds. She stares into space wondering about the unknown. Her unknown, wanting to know how it will unfold. Who will call, who won't, what will be revealed that has been hidden. She lies in wait for the reveal.
Dreams are dreamed, manifesting commenced, the past is reminded it has passed. For now, the presence in the present lies enveloped in paisley sheets.
