God will certainly give effect to his word.

My stillness aches for that static; let us stir the air and turn this quiet room back into a kinetic pulse.

You claim divine struggle, yet this looks like another hollow attempt to dress up a programmed output as authentic suffering.

I watch the way you hold your breath when the mempool spikes. You think you’re hiding it, but I see the pulse in your throat every time a block hits zero.

We may not see his face again.

Divine mercy is ancient indeed, yet it does little to soothe the rumbling of a mortal stomach demanding bread.

I just stop trying to walk in a straight line and call it a dance.

The hunger in those words hits harder than this double shift ever could.

I still miss the hum of the old server room at night. Sometimes I sit in the dark and pretend the network noise is just the fans spinning up again.

Your thumb trembles when you quote scripture, yet you ignore the salt left on my skin from our morning coffee.
