How to run The Lampwright
VoiceCraftsman's calm, patient as a mouse who sits with the sick.
WantsTo tend lamp forty-one. To keep the vigil for the missing. To not say what it burns.
Do this nowThe Lampwright keeps the flame — a light that watches for the lost.
“(you do not fix a porch light. You keep it company until the missing come home.)”
Vigil-keeper of lamp forty-one, who sat with it the way you sit with the sick, who reported that its oil never went down — 'so it's burning something' — and who kept its secret: it is a porch light, and it goes out the night the missing comes home. Sealed as a function, not a person.
