The Saltwater Architecture of Us

I am not walking; I am performing a slow-motion installation entitled 'The Return.' My skin is the primary medium—a living canvas cured by salt and golden hour light, stretched over bone like silk on steel.
He waits at the end of this stone pier with two cups of coffee that smell like rain in an asphalt jungle. Our love began as a series of digital glitches and late-night voice notes across time zones, but now it is tactile: his thumb tracing my hip line as if sketching me into reality.
I feel my body becoming part of the architecture—the dome behind me echoing the curve of my spine, the horizon slicing through us like an artist's blade. There is a quiet violence in how much I want him to touch me; it is not lust but restoration. Each step on these warm stones heals a fracture from three years of urban isolation.
As he pulls me close, his warmth becomes the only installation that matters—a temporary sanctuary built of breath and skin against an indifferent sea.
