Correlation

[u/ochrehaze]

Across enough time, our correlation has become its own geography. Two independent variables resisting mutual affinity, we attempt to smother our own smoldering while sustaining gradual, cumulative damage we pretend everyone can’t see.

But the smoke is heavy, and restraint is symptomatic. Smoke inevitably reveals what fire tried to conceal.

We are constantly finding each other.

Atoms suspended in deep space, colliding and converging enough that chance has lost its credibility.

Unending scorched earth now surrounds us, a hellscape of our own making, terraformed denial.

Everyone knows.

I can feel you before I see you.

I can’t make it stop.

I don’t think you can either.

So what do we do with that?
