‏هيّ كالفراشة حينما حلّت على ساحة صدره، أنعشته.

A esta hora el nivel de inseguridad, es terrible.

[snailthimbles]

I wish I could turn into a tree to escape society but they would probably just cut me down. Then again, would I care? Would anyone be around to hear me fall, would I even make a sound? No, but the bulldozers would. Loud and barreling and ripping me apart for just another apartment complex with stories of stories of people just trying to get by, I would cry oh how hard it is to be alive and human. But I am just a tree. Was just tree. But I’m not a tree, not really. I am just tired.

So drown me and if you can Or we could just have conversation. And I fall, I fall, I fall down But I found you, before I drift away.

سّيدي المختبئ داخل جلدي

وعلى طلاء أظافري وتحت أساوري

المتحالف مع وقتي

ومتأمر مع كتبي وأوراقي.

خُذ إجازة عن العالمين أجمع، وكُن لي وحدي.

[ajyal-azez]

مُنشغلة بك، بمرور يدي حول فمك، بِعيناك وبرسمة حاجبيك. لعنقك أثرٍ جليلاً معتقٌ، يُطفي لهيبَ الجوف بِقبلة، تتلمس أثره مدى بعيداً ومطولاً، يبقى ولا يُنسى..

2:26 AM

At 2:26 AM, every streetlight flickers on purpose.

Not electrical. Intentional.

Streetlights are ancient archivists. They were installed to watch us, yes, but not in a surveillance way. In a witness way.

They record every quiet bravery:

The person who walks home alone and keeps going.

The argument that ends in forgiveness instead of pride.

The night someone sits in their car and decides to stay alive.

They glow brighter for those moments.

That flicker? That’s applause.

But here’s the unhinged part:

When two streetlights flicker at the same time on opposite sides of the city, they’re syncing data. They’re mapping human resilience like constellations.

And when enough of those flickers align, something cosmic recalibrates.

Disasters soften. Storms hesitate. Somewhere, a catastrophe forgets its own instructions.

The universe adjusts its sharp edges because a cluster of streetlights decided humanity deserved a gentler curve.

And the truly trajectory-bending detail?

If you ever walk under a streetlight and it goes out right as you pass beneath it, you weren’t unlucky.

You were upgraded.

You carried enough light on your own that the streetlight clocked out early.

Energy conservation.

The night trusts you now. 🌃✨
