Liquid Ether: The Weightless Pulse of Us

The city above is a heavy, concrete lung, breathing soot and deadlines. But here, submerged in the midnight pool, gravity has lost its grip on my skin. I am unmoored.
The water holds me in a slow-motion orbit, stripping away the layers of a day spent anchored by expectations. Then, there is you—a sudden warmth that defies the cool dark, drifting toward me like a stray thought seeking home. Your gaze doesn't press down; it pulls upward, lifting my spirit from the depths of fatigue into a buoyant, shimmering space where only pulse and breath remain.
When our hands meet beneath the surface, there is no friction, only an ascending heat. We are two atoms escaping the pull of the earth, swirling in a liquid nebula where desire isn't a weight to carry, but the very force that allows us to rise. In this blue silence, I am finally light enough to love.
