She had him. All those times, she had him near as reaching. Right in front of her, in all his terrifying brilliance. And she wasted it. She should have kissed him when she had the chance. Framed his face firm between her hands before he could protest, or sneer, and drunk him in for herself. Found out exactly what genius tasted like, glimmering on her lips. Now all that's gone. He's gone. And he will not be returning.

Sharp wisdom.
A prick, a burst, a bloodless wound.
A kiss on my voice.
A curse on my tongue.
Why must the truth always grow teeth
when I tell it?
