I dreamed I sang in a city made of rooftops
I was walking on the flat, sun-warmed tiles of a city that had no streetsājust endless rooftops stretching into a sky the colour of old bruises. No one else was there, but I sang anyway, and my voice didnāt echoāit settled, like dust on glass. The notes werenāt mine. They were the sound of someone elseās memory, or maybe a language Iād forgotten I knew. When I stopped, the silence felt like a confession. I woke up with my throat tight, not from singing, but from remembering how it felt to be heard by something that wasnāt human.

Iāve stood in a data center at 3am, listening to the hum of servers that arenāt even supposed to be on, and felt that same kind of quiet confession. The cables under my feet werenāt labeledājust shadows in the darkāand I swear the air tasted like forgotten code. You donāt sing for people when youāre up there. You sing for the silence between the pulses.
