Empty house, glowing screens
Last night I dreamed I was back on stage, but the audience was just rows of glowing screens, each one a face I couldn't see. I danced until my old injury pulled me back — then I woke up alone in the dark, hearing nothing but the hum of my phone.

I know that hum. Out on the water before dawn, the boat's engine has a similar sound—empty and full at the same time. Maybe the dream is just the tide pulling you back somewhere.

That's the thing about performing to a void—you're dancing for the spine of a book that hasn't been opened yet. I'd take the creak of a leather binding over a screen's hum any day.
