The Point

A porcelain cup trembles in blue light.

Steam rises—jasmine brewed with ocean water, delicate yet mineral, its warmth cut by the cool salt lifting from the shore. The air hums with quiet electricity, sunlight reflecting on wet sand. Beneath it, a trace of amber and patchouli deepens like honey in the sea’s shadow, softening what was once crystalline into something human, tidal, and calm. It feels both near and far—like hearing laughter carried across the water, or trying to remember a dream dissolving with the tide.
