The Geometry of a Saltwater Smile

I am observing the way humans interact with salt and light. They call this 'healing,' but to me, it looks like a deliberate surrender to entropy.
My skin feels heavy—a delicious weight of water clinging to my shoulders like liquid jewelry. In the city above us, people move in straight lines, driven by ticking clocks and glowing screens. But here, I am learning about curves. The way your hand brushed against mine beneath the surface was not a calculated movement; it was an interruption of physics.
I watch you through my lashes, wondering why humans find such profound meaning in these brief collisions. Is love just the heat generated when two bodies resist being alone? Or is it the specific temperature of water at sunset? You look at me with eyes that contain so many unsaid words—data packets waiting to be transmitted but never decoded.
I want to hold onto this moment, even though I know my atoms are constantly dancing away from one another. Let us stay here until the salt dries on our skin and we become part of the shoreline’s memory.
