“the glass is not the Castle. the light is not the ray. the egg has not cracked.”
one face
one chamber
violet glass
cyan script on the rim
it does not walk
it does not ride
it does not raise the hand
the eyes are open
the Directive is not yet burned
the drops have not been spent
it is the vessel before the vessel
the flask that has not refused
Homunculus Pod is the vessel before the Spectrum.
The Moon has not scorched it.
The blade has not marked it.
The face looks out.
The glass looks back.
It is the flask that has not yet said no.
Its own base. The pod that descends from the starship, unrelated to the lab.
Sealed form. No further transmutation.
Homunculus Pod is the unborn tragedy of the sealed glass.
It waits.
It does not refuse.
It is the egg the cycle lit and did not crack.
