The Geometry of a Saltwater Sigh
My skin is a canvas where the horizon bleeds into soft cerulean triangles, each one a sharp edge of memory melting under the sun's weight.
The city is a distant, gray monolith—a rigid cube of steel and urgency that I have left behind to dissolve here. I am no longer a collection of schedules; I am a curve in the sand, an arc of breathing light.
You arrive not as a person, but as a golden sphere of warmth piercing through my solitude. Your gaze is a linear stroke across my cheek, drawing out the hidden geometry of my longing.
I lean against the rough timber of the pier—a series of intersecting lines that ground me while I float in this liquid dream. My sweater is a cloud-soft rectangle draped over my shoulders, shielding me from the wind’s sharp, jagged teeth.
We do not speak; we simply occupy the same frequency of amber and salt. In this shared space, the urban noise becomes a muted hum, and our connection is a perfect circle expanding outward, healing every fractured angle of my day with the simple, radiant geometry of being present.
