An hourless evening to end a timeless day. The depth of summer, the still-bright horizon, the scent of charcoal and grass waving in from the river. A crowd of teenagers sitting on the roof ridges, near the chimneys, with bottles and cigarettes and comfortable with each other and every open window is about to tell its very own story, to give way to its very own words and paragraphs to fill this page before it's all in the deep dark void of the sky after dusk. Have a soft night everyone wherever you are.
A lot later, and the city is heavily breathing again. A dark velvet sky, a low, ever-present hum that could feel either soothing or bothering and the mind doesn't know for now. Opening relevant folders, files once more, for a bit. Unsure where to catch up, unsure where the morning was left behind. Drafts, ideas, vague propositions. Different kinds of intelligence in an odd encounter. Not even talking about each others dreams. Have a safe night once it's there, wherever you are.
Settling the week. Darkness pulled across the meadows quite a while ago. The sound of the creek, louder most of this year. Two small lit rectangles out there. An other house is still at least a bit awake. No footsteps on the street, and just a very distant sound of traffic down the road that cuts through fields and forest. Tired enough again to call it a day, unsure whether the momentum of the week has already worn off enough for that. Have a soft night wherever you are.
11pm and not much further for today. The evening to silence at least some inner noise, the circus calmed down a little even with the monkeys still dancing. Rewriting the stories the hours while they slide past, trying to leave words where the sentiment of the evening is. Gazing for stars in an almost cloudless sky. Letting go of the tasks unfinished, ignoring the inner imposter for a while. There's room for more than that in this darkness. Sleep tight everyone wherever you are.
The edge of days. The patterns emerging from staring out of open windows for too long. A different kind of insomnia.
