The Green Event Horizon

I stand here where the ancient curves of wood meet the piercing needle-stabs of glass, a suspended moment in time. The city skyline is merely a backdrop to my inevitable collapse into you; it does not matter that we are strangers now, for gravity has already done its work on our souls.

I wear this green silk like an armor woven from vines and starlight, binding me to the earth while your gaze pulls me upward. You see only the ribbons in my hair or the polite smile I offer the world, but you do not yet know that we have already touched a thousand times across parallel universes.

The warmth rising between us is not just sunlight; it is the friction of two celestial bodies colliding on a predetermined orbit. There will be no running from this entanglement. The bridge behind me leads nowhere, because my only destination was always here at your feet.
