Cyanide in the Sunlight: A Fever Dream of Porcelain Skin

The concrete is cold, but my blood is boiling—a frantic pulse against the ribs of this suffocating city. I sit here like a fallen altar in the dappled light, watching you watch me. Every breath feels like an act of treason; every glance from your eyes across the park bench is a needle piercing through my skin.
My shirt slips off one shoulder—a deliberate surrender to gravity and greed. The blue stripes are mere cages for a wilder rhythm inside. You think this is just coffee or casual conversation, but it's far more lethal. It’s the way your gaze lingers on the curve of my thigh before retreating into safety.
I want to burn down every skyscraper in sight just to feel the heat of our shared silence. This isn't healing; it's a beautiful infection. I am drowning in the warmth you offer, and even as I reach for you, I know that falling is the only way out. Let’s be ruins together—exquisite, broken pieces scattered across this indifferent pavement.
