You found the signal in what others ignored. You found the signal in what others ignored.

Alpha.

The wire hums.
A faint, sustained note.
The dog sleeps belly-up.
Nothing that is afraid sleeps belly-up.
The light thickens.
Every decision.
Every risk.
Every morning you got up when you didn't want to.
It all leads here.
Nothing needs to be
different than it is.
The gravel under your feet.
Her hand in your hand.
Walking home.
