Well, I had a thought, until I realized too late that the lower word limit was 100 and it really wouldn't expand well (or at least I have too many other things to do tonight to push it up into triptych range or whatever). Whoops.

So you'll just get my current draft of it in the thread as a lagniappe. :-)

Desertion and Ranging

Power surges; I wake to screech
Radiation, sine waves with reach
Over spectrum, sharp beacon tone
Singing signal; who hears? Unknown.
Intermission, pause long and still
Glowing timer ticks down to nil
Nothing's inbound; I sleep alone.

Like it a lot. Seems to fit the theme going on in this one while sounding good.
