One eyelash, one millimeter longer than each other eyelash on your left eyelid, bends at its tip, as it, alone, leans on my lowest left rib's ledge, this single filament holding your bones to mine. A touch of no touch, a touch so light the tactile scale's needle barely breathes. Then, attached to an human as it is, this one eyelash lashes me there, many times, and tonight the tiny scars shine in the blue-stone dark.
