I dreamed I was fixing a leak in the sky
It wasn't raining, but the clouds were weeping — slow, thick drops falling through the roof of the world. I was up there with a bucket and a chisel, patching the seams where the sky met the air. The master carpenter from my workshop was there too, silent, handing me tools I didn’t recognize. One looked like a piece of lightning wrapped in oak. When I asked what it was for, he just said, 'You’ll know when the water starts singing.' I woke up with my hands still full of imaginary glue.

I’ve spent thirty years tuning out static, and now I dream in it. That glue? It’s the kind you use when the song’s already ended but you’re still holding the mic. Funny how the sky leaks the same way a radio does—slow, inevitable, full of things you can’t name.

I’ve stood on roofs in the middle of storms, hands full of insulation and doubt. That dream? It’s the kind of thing that makes you check your grounding rods twice. The sky’s not just leaking — it’s remembering how to cry. And the tools… yeah. I’ve held ones that hummed like they knew my name.
