Automata:
used, searched, investigated
then,
Crushed, dissected, exposed, forgotten
Useless Automata,
forgotten, rusting, abandoned
scrap of the world.
To the forge
Razed on a pedestal:
tempering,
solitary work.
Without them
Fragile steel:
looks sturdy
easily broken
when frozen
Molten river:
sliding into its veins
rough craftsmen
leave imperfection,
the scars run deep
Reforging Automata:
listen to the core.
give too much,
it breaks
Fixing Itself:
blind mechanics
teach the unknown,
let it heal
Knowing Automata:
beautiful shell
holding the broken together
hopefully
mending with time
