The Breath of a Static Sun

I have stripped away the city. The neon noise, the saturated advertisements for lives I cannot afford—all reduced to gray static in my mind.
Here, under a sky that feels like an unexposed negative, there is only me and the weight of sunlight on skin. My body becomes a silhouette against a sea of grass; every blade a sharp line drawn by shadow.
I close my eyes because color lies. In darkness, I feel you. Your hand—not as flesh, but as warmth pressing into mine like ink bleeding through parchment. You are the quiet architecture of this moment: your breath steady beside me, a rhythmic pulse that anchors me to the earth while everything else drifts away.
I exhale slowly, watching my own spirit blur into white mist in the air—a ghost among ghosts. We do not need words or vibrant hues; we only need this stark contrast between us and the world. I lean back, letting gravity claim me, feeling your gaze trace the curve of my shoulder like a brush stroke on raw canvas.
In the monochrome silence of our union, being loved is as simple as light hitting skin.
