People swam in other’s tear drops and wished upon the sequins of a woman’s dress they thought were stars. The flowing valleys that cut through the mountains and
defined landscapes were the grooves of another’s fingerprints. The civilizations were locked inside one another in a
balance so fragile impatient finger tapping held the potential to decimate
thousands of civilizations. A fallen fingernail, tossed
from so high it looked still, was called moon. No one knew the others
existed and remained ignorant of how many layers deep the interactions went.
