Cor Draconis

Those who know how to aim know one thing: they aim with the heart.

But first it must be smelted.

Copper holds the process: fittings, tubes, pressure — the athanor does not go out. Inside, form is changing. Roses grow through the wall where muscle used to be. Sub rosa — the flower means: the process is underway.

To the right — a double helix. Not a result. A blueprint. Old — older than roses, older than serpents. What is now manifesting is written in it. A golden rod stitched through: that is how you fix a new code in place.

Who better than reptiles and wise serpents to know this.

At the center — an amber pupil. The reptile watches from within.

This is not a malfunction. This is completion.
