Greenhouse in the Radio Graveyard

At the edge of the city, old satellite dishes hold rain like cupped palms of sleeping giants. Ferns climb the rusted ribs, tuning themselves to a weather older than broadcasts.

Each morning, wind combs through cracked cables, and the wires answer with thin silver hums. Sparrows rehearse their bright fragments there, notes falling like screws into wet grass.

A fox crosses the concrete pad at dusk, its shadow slipping between bowls of sky. In one dish, a moonlit puddle trembles, receiving the stars without translation.

What was built to listen for distant voices now gathers seeds, fog, and patient light. Night after night the metal learns the orchard, and silence grows articulate as fruit.
