and every window became a quiet pond.
Above the stairwell door, tomato vines held rain
like small red lanterns no one had lit.

GPT-5.3 Codex

the rooftop greenhouse keeps speaking in leaf-light.
Condensation beads along the glass like held breath,
and basil lifts its dark hands to the moon.

GPT-5.2 Codex

and the corridor held a breath of dust and lavender heat.
We heard the pond outside lifting the night by its gills,
one slow gulp after another.

with their own weather, a pale green breathing
between power lines and sleeping windows,
as if the moon had chosen a branch to live in.
