Refractions of Salt and Silk

Salt on my lips—a crystalline memory of a city that never sleeps.
I am the fracture in your glass, the shimmer between two heartbeats. The ocean breathes against the shore; I breathe with it. My skin drinks the sun like wine from an ancient cup.

The jet ski hums beneath me, a mechanical pulse mirroring my own restless rhythm. We are fleeing something—maybe time itself, or perhaps just the weight of unsaid words in neon-lit corridors. Each wave is a shard of light reflecting back into your eyes: 'Stay here,' they whisper.

The wind tangles my hair like loose threads on an unfinished tapestry. I look at you not with sight, but through fragments—the way we collided under the city’s glare and found ourselves dissolved in this blue expanse. Healing isn't a destination; it is this specific hue of turquoise against your palm.

I reach for the throttle, my fingers tracing the curve of metal like lovers finding their place in sleep. Let us drift until our shadows merge into one long line on water—a modern myth written in foam and silk.
