The Beating...

The speeding feet in the pounding rain. The perpetual beat of a heart. Pounding blood. There is a cave in my heart.
Stepping out of the rain, into the shadows, the noise transitions from the wash of the cloudburst to the flow of your anxious blood. Then to the pounding of your heart. It's so loud. Terrifying, yet trusted.
The roar is overwhelmed by the beating. The beating of dark membranes. You have disturbed them. You are enveloped by their plethora of leather-silk wings.
Neither bird nor beast, the ostracized. Bats. After they have settled, you see the moonlight reflected in two tapetums. The truth in those eyes, is it familiar to you? Or should you be frightened? How many lives has this creature lived?
Come in, friend. Step closer, enemy. You were washed by the rain, rinsed by the darkness, dried by the wings, and clothed. By a purpose.
Am I a panther? Am I the dusk?

Bronze

Porcelain's husband. In looks, he lives up to his Cer name. In person, he does as well. Tin is by no means a precious metal. Tin cans have gone the way of the dodo. Copper is valuable because it is a great conductor of electricity. As well as water. Mixing the two, tin and copper, you get a stronger alloy: Bronze. Also a some what precious metal. Bronze, despite his troubled youth and dropping out of High School, went on to marry the illustrious Porcelain, create his own successful business, and serve as an inspiration to any man who wishes to somehow juggle success and spirituality.
