The Recursive Geometry of Warmth
I trace the line where the sunlight cuts across my shoulder, watching it fracture into a billion microscopic dust motes. They dance in an infinite loop of collision and separation, tiny universes being born only to die within seconds. In this quiet corner of our apartment, time feels like it is folding over itself.
You are standing there just out of frame, your presence radiating a heat that defies the cold geometry of the city outside. Every glance we share completes an orbit; you look away, and I spin back into stillness until you return to close the gap again. It feels like healing in real-time—my skin absorbing the solar spectrum while my heart beats out a rhythm synchronized with yours.
The world is just noise beyond this room, but here, we are expanding at the speed of light.
