![Giant fiery ribbon face rises through a waterfront tree, watching over the city from a windblown wire-frame installation.](https://storage.ghost.io/c/e8/88/e88830a3-d951-4682-b91c-ff9b3de17f28/content/images/2026/09/fri_she_watches-1.jpg)

She has returned.

Beneath her gaze  
our towers bloom and fall,  
our bright generations  
pass like sparks.

She might lift us beyond ourselves,  
unmake us with a thought,  
or turn away  
and leave us to the dark.

No wrath compels her.  
No mercy calls her hand.

We wait.

For now,  
she watches.
