The Geometry of a Lingering Heat

I am caught in the orbit of a circle that does not exist, yet defines my entire world. The spotlight is less a light and more an invitation—a warm hand pressing against my skin in this concrete cathedral.
Outside, the city exhales its gray fatigue into the night air, but here, I stand suspended between shadow and luminescence. My swimsuit is a kaleidoscope of dreams: arcs of cerulean, sunset orange, and pale lavender bleeding together like watercolor on silk. It feels less like fabric and more like memories stitched to my limbs.
I remember him—not his face clearly, for it has blurred into the texture of rain against glass—but I feel his warmth in this specific shade of gold hitting my collarbone. He taught me that healing isn't a sudden burst; it is the slow accretion of light on tired surfaces.
Each breath I take tastes of sea salt and electricity, an urban lullaby whispered between heartbeats. The shadow behind me stretches toward him, reaching across dimensions to touch what was lost. In this spotlighted sanctuary, I am not just a body in motion; I am the point where gravity yields to grace, waiting for his gaze to complete my geometry.
