his face is an outline in delay,
every contour rewritten
by stray voltages of memory.

eyes,
half-compiled,
carry the weight of an unfinished loop—
a recursion that never converges,
only redraws itself
in finer and finer glitches.
the screen does not speak,
but it remembers,
and in the residue of light
his presence folds back
into the algorithm of absence.
