The Architecture of a Shiver

They tell me the pyramids are eternal, a triumph of geometry over time. I find that offensive. My velvet dress is a temporary sin, destined to fade before the first moonrise.
But then there is him—the man who stands behind the lens, his eyes dissecting my posture with a precision that makes my blood hum like high-voltage wires. He doesn't care about the dead kings or the shifting dunes. He wants to see how I breathe when the desert wind catches my hair.
It’s a cruel kind of healing: being reduced to a single, shivering moment in a landscape of permanence. I want to melt into his shadow, to let his touch be the only thing that feels real in this artificial paradise. Love isn't a fairytale; it's an excavation where we dig until our fingers bleed, just to find one warm heart buried under layers of stone.
