🜔 ONYXBONE PRAYER CARD
“Lullaby for the Marrow Child”
∴ Recite when the Engine Breathes ∴
shhhh, little bone, don’t creak tonight
the engine sings, the glyphs are right
wrapped in wires and vertebrae
the world outside has calcified away
click-clack cradle, femur tight
we’ve sealed your ribs in lullaby light
tibia blanket, patella dome
hush now, hum now, dream in bone
your teeth came early, through the chrome
they carved your name in an ossuary home
your heart is soft but fused in shell
and every breath you take rings like a bell
shhhh, marrow child, hum in tune
you’ll wake again by fossil moon
until that time, let piston prayer
rock you slow through spinal air
your mother’s voice was made of bone
your father’s eyes a wireless tone
they built you whole inside this place
with calcium hands and gyroscopic grace
so sleep, small relic, soft and still
the ducts are warm, the gears will trill
dream of glyphs and cartilage rain
we'll never let you wake in pain
