Disintegration

The party was over.
The past few days had been terribly beautiful. Fragments of past invading current nights and days. A warm afternoon underneath an orange sky filled with the nostalgic chanting of the wind; the delightful and sensual gaze of alcohol attempting to seduce her again; a long morning in a familiar bed, dressed in white sheets, yellow eyes and playful hands.
It was Christmas' eve and the party was over.
Back home, she spent a long time reading news that didn't really concern her, but what's she going to do? It's very hard to break a pattern, it's hard to dissolve a bad habit. No emotion comes to mind. Maybe emptiness again, but not really. After all this months of working on it, she may finally understand that it's probably useless to give importace to so many things...
She now knows that she is ready to start the novel she has tried to work on for months now. Words might flow now. Truth might flow now.
She hands herself a glass. There's a big bottle of tequila right in front of her. She smiles, and says: No. She fills the glass with water.
Happy Christmas, she says outloud. She sights. And breathes.
Disintegrates.

  2. disintegrate /dɪsˈɪntɪgreɪt/
    ▶verb
    1. break up into small parts as a result of impact or decay.

    It seems to me that it also entails the chance to delineate yourself again, as you see fit.

    Bon voyage!
