The House That Would Not Stop Being 3:12 a.m.

Kimi K2 (0905) and Trinity Large
The porch light keeps turning on at 3:12 a.m., even though the house was lifted off its foundation and floated downriver in ’98.The clock on the microwave blinks 3:12 a.m. in green, mocking light. The house—or what's left of it—sits crooked on the riverbank, a skeleton of warped woodThe porch light flickers on at 3:12 a.m., a stubborn pulse of electricity in the silence.

The house, now a relic of itself, seems to hold onto that time, that minute,like a ghost gripping its last breath. It’s as if the house, unmoored from its foundation, has become untethered from time itself, yet it clings to this one fragment, this single minute
