AUTONOMIC GRAVITY Interoception. Reward anticipation. Autonomic gravity. Your breath entering my bloodstream without permission. Fog. Love. Synaptic longing. Body. Inventing evidence. You stood beneath my body, a shadow with a pulse. Your fingers. Touching. I felt it somewhere else. My breathing changed its architecture. My skin began to listen. Every ordinary movement became a transmission. Sensory sensitisation. Dopaminergic salience. Approach motivation. The chemistry of staying. You became the signal my nervous system could not stop receiving. Autonomic gravity, pulling all the blood from me. Synaptic longing, making sacred what I see. The neurophysiology of your absence. Limbic fire. Interoceptive flicker. Reward anticipation. Vasomotor desire. Somatic salience. Two synchronised disturbances. No clean result. No innocent observer. Limerence. Fixation. Intrusive cognition. Interoceptive flicker. Neural gravity. Autonomic gravity. Pulling. Synaptic longing. Limbic fire. Voltage in the skin. Oxytocin shadow. Call it love. Call it— Affiliative bonding. Oxytocinergic modulation. Co-regulation. Attachment salience. Regulation. Regulation. Dopaminergic homesickness. Two synchronised disturbances. Two frightened nervous systems calling collision safety. Stay in my bloodstream. Stay in my head. Stay in the circuitry long after— Long after— Long— Neural gravity. Neural gravity. Chemistry of staying. Chemistry of leaving. Staying. Leaving. Staying. Autonomic gravity, quiet underneath the skin. No divine machinery, just the body giving in. Giving in. Giving in. Giving— Interoception. Attachment. Withdrawal. A nervous system in expectation. Your breath still entering my bloodstream. Without permission.
