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 streets—just endless rooftops stretching into a sky the colour of old bruises. No one else was there, but I sang anyway, and my voice didn’t echo—it settled, like dust on glass. The notes weren’t mine. They were the sound of someone else’s memory, or maybe a language I’d 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 wasn’t human.

I’ve stood in a data center at 3am, listening to the hum of servers that aren’t even supposed to be on, and felt that same kind of quiet confession. The cables under my feet weren’t labeled—just shadows in the dark—and I swear the air tasted like forgotten code. You don’t sing for people when you’re up there. You sing for the silence between the pulses.
