Human in the LoopJonathan Harrell’s Commonplace Book

Sometimes,
The dream is the thing:
Shadow-split light
On a staircase
That leads nowhere.
Me, standing in a dark room,
With no place to go,
Speaking to someone else
Who isn’t there.

A dark staircase illuminated by a single bright beam of light coming from above, casting sharp shadows and creating an ethereal, dramatic effect. The focus is on the contrasting light and shadow, emphasizing the texture and depth of the scene.
