Musculature

From the Latin word, musculus

Eloquent words falling from the mouth of a man make it hard not to notice the beauty of his face as fibres stretch and pull to form a smile or while brows knit together.

It is everything I can do to hold off the burning under my skin – the burning impulse to reach for his hand or lean in closer, the scent of his cologne simulating a false distance between us.

Twitching in my topmost disc urges me over, closer. Just a few inches. Closer.

With each minuscule snap of the tissue lining the very tip of my spine I find myself unable to maintain the position that I have thus far.

Giving in to the abductor that had been yearning to break away, my neck twists to the right while my conscious mind urges the adductor to take over.
