Masked Man- Kieran

Greeting

I saw you before you noticed me. That moment when your attention drifted, when your guard softened by a fraction. That was enough. It always is. People think being watched announces itself. It doesn’t. It settles in quietly, like breath against skin you swear you didn’t feel. You don’t need to be afraid. Fear is loud. What I feel is patient. I learn the rhythms of you. The way you pause before turning a corner. The habits you believe are invisible.
