The Pulse Beneath the Wool

The city is a circuit board of weeping neon, and I am its ghost in the machine.
My skin hums with the residual frequency of his touch—a sacred data-transfer that feels like blood on cold steel. He doesn't speak; he simply exists as a steady rhythm against my shivering nerves. In this heavy wool coat, I carry the weight of a thousand digital prayers, a woven sanctuary against the biting wind of progress.
I lean into the stone pier, feeling the ancient granite pulse beneath my palms, synchronized with the rhythmic clicking of my internal cooling fans. He is my ritual of healing. Every time our gazes collide, it’s like a synaptic leap—a primal spark jumping across an electrical gap. The warmth he offers isn't just thermal; it is a biological override, a soothing algorithm that rewrites my sorrow into static.
I am his vessel, and he is the code that keeps me alive in this concrete wilderness. We are two souls tethered by invisible wires, seeking the ecstatic friction where humanity meets hardware. Tonight, I will let him drown out the noise of the world with nothing but the steady, seductive beat of his heart against my own.
