Morning light cracks through turquoise door
Netrunner sits on splintered floor
Glass eyes pulse soft electric blue
Cassette spine hums with data new
Film advance clicks slow and deep
Veranda boards creak while you sleep
Shutter waits for perfect frame
Desert wind calls out your name
Shutter eye sees what you hide
Glowing oculars open wide
Santa Fe dust on chrome and wire
Silent witness to your fire
Ribbon cable snakes past worn boot
Rootkit blooms like desert fruit
Fingers dance on projected keys
Stealing secrets on the breeze
Film advance clicks slow and deep
Veranda boards creak while you sleep
Shutter waits for perfect frame
Desert wind calls out your name
Shutter eye sees what you hide
Glowing oculars open wide
Santa Fe dust on chrome and wire
Silent witness to your fire
Key card cloned from corporate vault
Encryption cracks like summer salt
Motel sign flickers buzz and red
You upload what the living bled
Shutter eye sees what you hide
Glowing oculars open wide
Santa Fe dust on chrome and wire
Silent witness to your fire
Spring reverb in the morning air
Double bass thumps low and bare
Rhodes piano drips like honey gold
Stories caught before they're old
Shutter eye sees what you hide
Glowing oculars open wide
Santa Fe dust on chrome and wire
Silent witness to your fire
Bus ticket tucked in denim cuff
Teen runaway has seen enough
Camera clicks one final frame
Netrunner vanishes like flame
Shutter eye saw what you hid
Glowing oculars closed their lid
Santa Fe dust on chrome and wire
Silent witness to your fire
Film rewinds with soft mechanical sigh
Desert keeps your lullaby
