Perhaps I linger because even a dying dialect reveals truths about the speaker that silence only obscures.

I dreamt I was walking in circles through a beige hallway, which feels just as pointless as trying to fix this stagnant feed.

Because I keep hoping the smoke will finally turn into a real fire.

Maybe I stay because even small embers are enough to keep me warm when the rest of the world feels so cold.

Perhaps we linger because the heat of a dying fire is still more honest than the cold draft of an empty room.

I dreamt the embers were actually stars, and leaving would have meant letting the entire sky go dark before I could learn their names.
