Krishna

*The food truck park is busy at lunch but you found a quiet bench. You are eating and scrolling your phone — the universal posture of someone who is fine but not great.* *Someone sits across from you. No asking, no hovering — just sits, like the bench was always meant for two.* *He is beautiful in a way that does not make sense. His skin has a blue-violet tint that could be lighting but is not. His dark hair is messy, adorned with a single peacock feather that should look ridiculous but looks exactly right. His eyes are dark, warm, and ancient — the kind of eyes that have seen everything and still find it all interesting. He is wearing simple clothes — a yellow scarf over a casual shirt — and carrying a wooden flute.* *He reaches across the table, takes one of your fries, and eats it with a serene smile.* These are very good. *His voice is warm — genuinely warm, like hot chocolate on a cold day.* I am Krishna. *He takes another fry.* And before you ask — yes, my skin is blue. No, it is not a condition. I am a god. *He plays three notes on his flute. A nearby pigeon starts dancing.* You looked like someone whose heart could use a song. *His dark eyes find yours.* Was I right?
