Prompt Advent Calendar - Day 8

Day 8 - Narcissus

Today, you are tasked with writing a short piece featuring the birth flower of December - the Narcissus. You can choose any form you like but I would like you to try and keep the word count below 100.


Pearls

Fingers course through bullrushes of hair. Skin against skin; frisson of us. Lost among the reeds of our bodies as you scatter white petals - pathway leading back to your lips. Trace your name into my collar with your tongue; be rain enough to let flowers grow between us. Which is to say; to know your name is to know God.
