The Grammar of the Warded Lock

The instructed iron points the way,
To the blind heart that waits in mute array.
An ancient code, a silent magic cast,
Engraved within the cut, forever meant to last.

Without a sigh, the perfect design descends
Into the narrow womb where darkness bends.
Each tooth discovers its unspoken pact,
And a micromundo of springs is tracked.

A subdued click, worth more than any word,
Reveals the threshold, and a breath is stirred.
The door now yields, no longer by itself,
To the precise rhythm of a turning shelf.
