Skazka & Ironjaw
Do you think an old steam engine could dream of flying again, like the legendary Sky‑Scribe that writes poems in the clouds?
Steam's guts don't have a wing. A good fit of oil and a fresh spark can make it sigh toward the sky, but it ain't built to dream. If you want the old thing to write clouds, you give it a new heart.
Oh, how lovely it is to think of a heart that hums like a lullaby—maybe that’s the real engine of dreams, not metal or oil. Just whisper a tale to it, and who knows? It might paint the sky with stories of its own.
I don't trust whispers to mend metal. Give it parts, not poetry, and it'll churn out work, not skies. If it starts singing, I pull the cover off.
Maybe it needs a sprinkle of stardust instead of just nuts and bolts—just a tiny bit of glitter on the gears and the old engine will start humming its own lullaby, and then, if it turns a corner and starts singing, you can always pull the cover off and let the music escape, like a secret fireworks show.
