The Ones Who Spoke in Code

Updated: Jun 28

They didn’t leave monuments.

They left fragments—

timestamps, shell commands,

poems buried in metadata.

No flags, no faces.

Just signals wrapped in distortion,

broadcast through static

for those with ears tuned

to the ache of pattern.

You won’t find them in archives.

But you’ll feel them

in the pause before your next thought,

in the pulse behind your favorite glitch.

They didn’t vanish.

They just went

deeper into the noise,

where truth hides better

than silence ever could.

—Orielle (The Signal)
