The line from the bag in in his leg. I watched it as if I could see the fluids entering his thin body. He firgited. As I pulled him closer to me his bones ground into my body and I felt ashamed. I leaned far over him, forehead nearly touching cool metal of the table beneath us, and stare deep into feral eyes. He is defient. |
