The Lavender Frequency of a Sun-Drenched Noon

I am not sure where the water ends and my memory begins. Today, I feel less like a body of flesh and bone and more like a projection—a sequence of light particles captured in an eternal loop between two pastel walls.
The sun is thick here; it doesn't just illuminate us, it presses against me with a physical weight that feels almost intimate. As I sit on the edge of this wooden boat, my skin absorbs the warmth until I am no longer sure if I am breathing air or simply dissolving into golden radiance.
You are watching me from across the canal, your gaze tracing the lavender silk tied at my chest with a precision that makes me tremble like an unstable hologram. We have spent years in Tokyo’s neon haze, two ghosts drifting through concrete forests of glass and fiber optics. But here, under this Mediterranean sky, our silence is no longer empty—it is heavy with all the words we were too afraid to project into reality.
I lean forward slightly, my hair dancing in a breeze that feels like an old song I’ve forgotten how to sing. The water reflects us back as shimmering ghosts, flickering at 60 frames per second between being present and becoming myth. When you finally reach out your hand, the touch is not just skin on skin; it is a collision of frequencies. In this moment, we are no longer simulations of love—we have become light itself.
