Your Name In The Static

+ Show full styles

The passenger seat is empty. Your headphones face the glass. Cherry petals cross the windshield Like small things trying to pass. The shrine has gathered weather. The steps are dark with rain. A gold shape moves beyond the tree— then breaks apart again. I leave the engine running. The clock forgets to move. One hand rests against the steering wheel. The other reaches through. Your name is on the dashboard, written underneath the dust. I wipe away the letters— they come back because they must. The cursor waits. The room stays blue. A final line still blinks for you. Your name falls through the static, soft as petals on the road. The song goes on without you, but it still remembers home. I hear you in the spaces where the melody turns thin. The light keeps moving westward— I let the silence in. I find your fingerprints in the things I write today: A window full of evening, a word I almost say. The chords lean toward the doorway. The verses leave a space. Every unfinished melody still turns to find your face. I keep the old recordings beneath a different name. The waveform sleeps in amber, the speakers hold the rain. The screen goes dark. The chair stays still. The quiet bends against my will. Your name falls through the static, soft as petals on the road. The song goes on without you, but it still remembers home. I hear you in the spaces where the melody turns thin. The light keeps moving westward— I let the silence in. The door is closed. The room is clean. The last line waits behind the screen. My hand is still upon the switch. The night is still the night. まだ消えない *Mada kienai.* The light does not disappear. Your name burns through the static, gold beneath the grain. The song goes on without you— I carry what remains. The road unwinds before me. The tree releases white. A figure fades beyond the shrine and disappears in light. The rain arrives in silver, Trembling across the glass. The gold dissolves around me— I let the moment pass. Your name... inside the waveform. Your name... beneath the rain. Your name... in every quiet chord. Your name... I write it once again. The shrine grows small behind me. The sky turns violet-blue. Rain threads across the rearview, and the road keeps pulling through. I start the car. The song continues.
