The city hums in whispers, a quiet symphony of distant lives moving without pause. Between shadowed rooftops and tangled wires, a black cat sits alone beneath the moon’s soft glow. The night stretches endlessly, vast and silent, as if holding its breath.

The cat does not move, only watches—gazing at something no longer here, something long faded into the quiet spaces between moments. A streetlamp hums, its golden light spilling over worn brick and empty windows, touching everything and nothing at once. Somewhere, footsteps fade into the distance. Somewhere, laughter dissolves into memory.

The air carries traces of what once was—fragments of voices, fleeting warmth, the echo of a presence that will never return. The cat remains still, as if waiting for something impossible, as if knowing that some things slip away without ever saying goodbye.

The city continues, unchanged. The stars blink above, indifferent. And in this silent rooftop world, a dream lingers—not fully gone, not fully here—just a ghost of something left behind.

“For oft, when on my couch I lie
In vacant or in pensive mood,
They flash upon that inward eye
Which is the bliss of solitude;
And then my heart with pleasure fills,
And dances with the daffodils.”
— William Wordsworth, I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud

Wordsworth reflects on memories of beauty and joy that return to him long after they have passed. Like a dream left behind, these moments remain alive within, even when they seem lost to time.
