Fireflies blinked brief alphabets against black’s blank scroll, glyphs gulped by dark between syllables. I chased their vowels barefoot and thought: brilliance breathes in fragments—it flares, it falters, it flees, because even genius gags on forever.

Shadows quilted the ravine, stitching its bones in black thread. And I whispered: endings look like this—sewn slow, hemming the wild in cloth thick enough to smother screams, soft enough to trick you into thinking closure is gentle.
