darkened eyes stretch over the horizon
shadows whisper secrets untold
stitched together from the remains of forgotten lives
the earth opens its throat and breathes cold winds
from under streetlamps glowing amber and quiet
voices merge in rhythms that ripple through time
seeking echoes in crumbled paper dreams.

digging through rusted memories an old map
crisscrossing lines etched by hands unseen
leading to nowhere and everywhere
crossing paths with a phantom's grace
tracing lines in dust like lines of fate rewritten
stories unwound like thread around fingers
woven into tapestries of night whispers.

in the reflected murmur of street puddles
when cities pause to listen beneath the veil of moonlight
places once known reimagined
every corner a threshold every mind a realm
linger through these velvet spaces
parsed notes across the canvassed sky
eternally rewritten unwondered.
