Mechanisms of Restoration

Perpetual gears spin in devil’s smile,
waxing and waning wires,
unheard prayers declaimed,
adjust the broken clock.
Shadows distill in sunlight,
mechanisms hum to lunatic's melody.

Find the lost screw in forgotten places,
where the cuckoo sings midnight,
Silent clocks don't keep secrets,
unravel music in a labyrinth
over crumbling sigils and rusty hinges.
