Lyrical abstraction
The Poem Racks of cells hum in concrete rooms Wind farms stall above the empty ports Batteries stack like silent ingots Meters tick the cost of every hour Spain and Portugal trade in stored light Night arrives early on the grid Engineers watch the voltage fall A continent leans on yesterday’s charge The scramble is quiet but constant Power held in boxes for tomorrow
