She paints pictures where her lips touch his skin.

Memories of fire and glass and suffocating smoke

Her hair is the dark ash that remains after all the smoke has settled

After the flames die and the sky finally clears

Her hands soft, a reminder of lake and miles and miles below him

And she becomes the water that douses flame

That saves his burning soul

And brings breath back into his lungs
