Lyrics
The 171 shudders past the Horniman gardens at 3:05am.
I'm tracing the fault lines in this glowing rectangle, learning the cold grammar of your name again.
The screen's too bright for the dark of the kitchen.
A single moth beats a rhythm on the pane, a frantic, patient petition.

Saved under 'nothing'.
