Anniversary

As the man studied
the crimson Rorschach test
left on his bathroom wall,
he decided that it reminded him
of a butterfly in a frog's mouth,
or maybe of cat food,
if cats ate brain matter.
"Happy Anniversary."
he whispered to a memory.
He smiled,
and kissed her almost forehead.

Well that's bloody creepy, in a very literal sense XD

Literary, too: it certainly strikes the tone you're going for, right on the head. Large and lasting kudos.

Only thought (for now), I think "brain matter" needs to condense to two syllables to make the flow work right. That's about it.

Yeah, neat :)



'Tis the season to shovel enormous amounts of watermelon into your mouth while hunched over the cutting board like a dehydrated vampire that hasn't fed on blood in four hundred years and the only viable substitute is this questionable Christmas-colored fruit.
