The Artifact

October 24, 2023

Sealed away in its saya on its katanagake 

Waiting to be used,

Waiting to fulfill its purpose,

But perhaps that's not what it wishes,

Its own kin retired from such violence,

Now it forever sits, Tsuka facing left, 

Not wishing for war,

Sori well oiled the soul sits on its katanagake resting peacefully but ready,

Ready to fulfill its duty,

Its purpose
