Abrasive and Warm

"You shut off the alarm. You put on your watch. You stare at the drain as you brush your teeth. You button every button on every part of your outfit. You layer on top of your layers. You sweat on the public transport to work. You wipe your nose. You wait. The planets move but it is invisible. I feel close to you in ways you refuse to believe. I used to notice the texture of the air when you were in the apartment but I hadn’t seen you yet. It was abrasive and warm. It was clouded and full."
