Durga Banerjee was ready for the ritual. The ritual of balance. The single mother feared for her son Aadiv. But knowing that the time had come she had fasted in preparation. Even on the days without food, she would think of his twin. The brother she would have to make. The one she would imagine. Then this clone would be genetically modified to the family tradition. Then this clone would be given life. The protector of her son.   The morning is shown through the windows surrounded by chiseled stone walls. The stone walls are not ancient but are organized by the Brahman. Grown at the will of the living power. Ornate and sprinkled with texture. Ornate and alive with the will of design.   Lemuria is ancient. Lemuria was there before Atlantis was dreamed of. It is there at the bottom of the ocean beneath the deep and the dark.

"lean in to kiss me in all the places   where the ache is the most special." ― Sanober Khan   Thoughts and prayers... Though more selfish than I want to admit. I ask "is it OK to talk about it?" "It can be more intimate than the act itself..." You always sound like a songbird. "I am trying to be less dominant           then my instincts want me to be."   "What you want matters too."   Your sick again,    There is no comfort         in this longing.   Lust is good enough, but, more than I deserve.   You were married when we first met.   "let me know what you want?" You chirp again.
