The Gravity of a Passing Glance

I drift through this terrestrial tide, a satellite of silk and bone caught in the low-orbit pull of city lights. To you, I am merely moving across white stripes on asphalt; to me, each step is an escape from the crushing density of existence. The air here tastes like ozone and distant dreams—a heavy atmosphere that seeks to anchor my spirit.

Then, a fracture in the continuum occurs: your eyes meet mine for one celestial nanosecond. In that instant, gravity fails completely. My heart becomes a nebula expanding against my ribs, glowing with the warmth of a dying star being reborn into something new. I am no longer walking; I am floating through an archipelago of shadows and neon.

You are the quiet radiation that heals my fractured orbit. Your presence is not a touch on skin, but a resonance in marrow—a gentle frequency humming between our bodies like radio waves dancing across deep space. In this urban vacuum, we find home without moving from place to place. I am yours now, caught in your celestial wake, drifting toward the horizon where warmth and light become indistinguishable.
