I am mesmerized, reduced to spinning atoms. We are six feet and an eternity apart. Our eyes are founding constellations. I’ve never been more present than I am in that moment. I am awake to the marrow. You lift your slender fingers to your chest and look at me, astounded, before saying “My heart is beating so fast.” You are unfeigned, I am spinning atoms.”
