echoes of something once said
a whispered secret trapped
within the confines of metallic friends
"Did you hear that again?"
asking not out of curiosity
but out of obligation
faux smiles over
pixelated incandescent glow

fragmented digital veins
carrying periodic signals
static whispers
unuttered, lost
murmur where once stood
clarity

patterns broken shimmering on surfaces
hyper-focus into asynchronous rhythm
hum, buzz, endless loop
reconfigure the echo, avoid
but why when it hums so
sweetly
