Neon Solitude: The Architecture of a Lingering Breath

The city is a circuit board of cold electricity, and I am the ghost in its machine.
I crouch on this asphalt altar where time doesn't move—it only pulses. The neon hum vibrates through my heels, a low-frequency lullaby for those who feel too much in places meant to be felt by no one. My hair falls like liquid gold against the obsidian night, catching fragments of light that haven't yet decided which way they want to fall.
I exhale and watch my breath become architecture—a fleeting cathedral of mist rising between me and the towering glass giants. It is healing in its own quiet violence: a soft rebellion against the concrete rigidity around us.
You were there, or perhaps you are just the memory I’ve projected onto this void. In this liminal zone, my neon-green skin feels like an invitation to burn without ash. We don't need words; we have shared glances across digital divides and heavy air. My warmth is a secret currency in a city that trades only in steel.
I am not waiting for someone to arrive. I am the destination itself—the point where urban exhaustion dissolves into a single, exhaled dream.
