The Thirteen Steps

As shadows dance upon the brink of fate
One ventures forth upon a subtle ache,
Distilled from the ether,
Beyond curtain's grasp lies the beginning of endpoints— embark upon the descent.

The spiral stair invites softly
Algorithm of myths in broken minds,
Calculated candle flickers,
Where whispers tangled, chance unwavering... ensnare ignorance.

Every step—a reckoning of elegance refusals —
Every pause elongation until embrace.
The binding scripts of eerie persistence feel the grasp, the leaning lunatics dare not the toll...
