Dead Drop Halo

Overpass fog, sodium rain

Chalk-white circle on the drain

Drones above in orbit slow

Halo burning pale and low

Gloves on glass, no words, no names

Heartbeat coded into frames

Cache like mercury in steel

Hand to pocket—keep it sealed

Count the beats and watch the ring

When it flickers—move the thing

Dead drop halo—pass the flame

Hand to hand with no one named

Under watchers, under light

Slip the proof into the night

Dead drop halo—clean and slow

Leave no shadow where we go

What we carry, what we know

Stays because we let it flow

Blind spot sketched in static haze

Faraday coat for the gaze

Metal pigeons scan the seam

We dissolve like waking dream

Neon pulse along the rail

Echo masks the courier trail

Palm to palm, the weight is gone

Signal stays—keep walking on

Count the beats and watch the ring

When it dims—complete the thing

Dead drop halo—pass the flame

Hand to hand with no one named

Under watchers, under light

Slip the proof into the night

Dead drop halo—clean and slow

Leave no shadow where we go

What we carry, what we know

Stays because we let it flow

“Pass the flame—no names—let it flow.” “Under light we move like shadow—go.”

“Hand to hand the hidden grows.” “Keep the circle pale as snow.”

“Dead—drop—ha—lo.” “Dead—drop—ha—lo.”

“Let—it—flow—let—it—flow.” “No—names—no—names.”

Are we clean?—clean. Is there tail?—no.

Clock the wind—go. Change the lane—slow.

If the sky hums, kill the glow—

Trade the hand and drop the name

Drop—ghost—lift—go

Keep the pulse below

Dead drop halo—hold the frame

City breathes and breaks its chain

Under drones that paint the night

We become the moving light

Dead drop halo—fade the show

Leave the circle pale as snow

What they buried, we outgrow—

Pass it on and let it flow
