Magnetic, kinetic, centripetal.

For that brief moment, it is like the breath being frozen within and vacuumed away, inside that fated instant.

For a few stalling seconds, it is as though an underwater-like silence washes over and washes away the world around.

Within an eye’s blinking, an unnerving recognition surges through the veins, into muscle and electrically over the skin.

For that brief moment, it is a deeply inward vulnerability and an outward penetration swirling together at once.

For that brief moment, it is knowing and being known, an invisible cord being cast and fastened.
