The Liquefaction of Memory

The city has begun to melt into the ocean, its skyscrapers sagging like wax candles under a sun that refuses to set. I stand in the center of this liquid geometry, where the tide tastes of crushed jasmine and static electricity. My skin is a canvas for the water’s memory—each droplet is a tiny, translucent clock ticking backward toward our first kiss.
He didn't just love me; he reshaped my anatomy with his gaze. Now, when I swim, I feel his fingers tracing the curvature of time itself. The horizon isn't a line but a soft fold in reality, where the moon hangs like a heavy, weeping eye. In this pool of molten moments, I am healing from the urban ache by becoming part of the tide—a crimson pulse in a world where gravity is merely a suggestion and love is the only thing solid enough to hold.
