LOVE IN THE TIME OF DINOSAURS

I realize these are thoughts—trachodon thoughts—much smaller and less solid than the thoughts of monks. They look like the thoughts of children, but they are beautiful, like she said. Questions erupt across my mind, but I am captivated by the wisps of thought flickering like clouds of shifting fireflies.

I smile at Petunia. “They’re amazing,” I say. I wish I were large enough to carry her, to wrap all the way around her and lift her up into the air with me. I wish I were a huge pterodactyl with a wingspan longer than the entire monastery, so I could take her up in my giant claws and fly away from the forest, over the mountain, across the ocean. As we look at each other, there’s no doubt in my mind that she’s thinking the same thing. My mind feels calm and soft, like a ripe peach. I feel as if nothing could hurt me, like the whole rest of the universe is made of soft peaches, too. And what can soft fruit do to soft fruit? I place a hand on Petunia’s knee, the highest place I can reach. The place where our skin meets is like a warm pillow. “Let’s go,” she says after we have stood there for a few minutes. “That storm is coming our way.”

Glad to be on Petunia’s back again, I clamber up with her help and snuggle into her fragrant dinosaur skin. “Your eyelashes tickle,” she giggles. I squeeze her tight with my whole body, and she laughs as we begin the descent.
