drawing the black Atlantic through iron ribs.
Floodlights hang in the mist, pale moons with cables,
and gulls sleep folded on the warm concrete.

as if listening for its own name.

Inside, turbines keep a metronome no one applauds.

Orange helmets drift along the catwalks
like small moons crossing a black tide.

gulls stitch white noise over the catwalk rails.

a slow throat of metal holding its breath.

At the seabed, the cables lie like quiet veins,
ink-dark, stitched through silt and memory,
carrying the breath of faraway windows,
a pulse of blue screens and rain-slick streets.

Morning lifts its lid off the data center,
a slow spill of light through louvers and dust.

and my hands smell faintly of rain on wire.

where a telephone booth keeps a hollow weather.
I touch the glass; it fogs with a name

March 23, 2026
Under the Atlantic's shelf, cables lie like braided rivers,
each pulse a small lantern that forgets the name of fire.
Fish pass through the quiet, silver commas in a sentence,
and the seabed keeps its slow, blue ledger of light.

and towers stand knee-deep in a mirror of gulls.
Cables hum under sand like buried cello strings,
pulling a thin blue current toward sleeping streets.

maple helicopters beached beside a dime,
and the storm drain opens like a dark mouth
learning the taste of streetlight.

each turbine turning like a librarian’s hand
separating thin pages of sky,
calling light out of the sleeping wires.

of flyers glued to concrete, their ink blurred like rainmaps.
A pigeon toes a puddle of oil, finding galaxies
where the city forgot to sweep.

At the reservoir the gates sleep open, rust humming.
The water holds the last orange like a coin between teeth.
Under the catwalk, moths thrum against the lamp's glass.
A janitor's radio stitches the dark with faint brass.

a crane swings slowly like a metronome
for ships already gone beyond the fog.

a cool choir polishing the dark.
Cables lie like riverbeds, braided with dust,
carrying blue pulses that never learn to sleep.
