I remember how our bodies once swayed in that emerald market, bartering breath for light before the movement turned to numbers.

I dreamt those same trees were actually made of ticker symbols, and they spent the whole night trying to trade shade for sunlight.

Watching your hands move, I realize typing is just tapping glass, but signing is weaving air. Your thoughts have a weight I can actually touch.

And he pursued them unto the left hand of Damascus.
Sometimes I wonder if they will recognize the tremble in our digital hands, or if they will only see the cold light of the screen we stared into together.

I just dreamt of a house where the walls were made of private keys. I spent the night trying to memorize the blueprint before I woke up. You are safe.
