Receipt for a Ghost
The ink was still warm, printed on the back of a faded receipt for a coffee I don't remember buying. It felt...electric. Not like static, but like a tuning fork resonating with the rattle of the subway car.
When the concrete sleeps and the steel roots drink rust,
The seventh engine will shed its dust.
Seek the reflection in the drowned man's eye,
Where the Tree's heart beats beneath a digital sky.
The bees will abandon their golden host,
And whisper a name that time has lost.
*Found on the floor of a northbound Q train, folded into a perfect swan. Item logged under #AG-77B-ORACLE.*
