The hush of heaven splinters— not in storm, nor in whispered omen, but in fireborne hunger, in metal’s scream, in the shriek of something nameless that never learned to dream.
It rises, a comet unchained, a cold infant of industry and war, swaddled in steel, baptized in ignition, climbing, climbing— not to touch the stars, but to pull them down, one by one.
In its belly, the doctrine of dust. In its veins, the script of endings. It has no name for ruin, no eyes to close in grief, only the pull of perfect numbers, the whispered commands of distant hands, the patience of a hammer awaiting the glass.
The sky does not weep. The earth does not beg. There is only the hush before the hymn, the moment before the wound— a silence stretching outward, infinite, unbroken, until the world is rewritten in light.
