They hammered out a threshold of bronze, a square of fire and witness, bright with toil, where smoke would learn the language of the sky, and every offering find its appointed place.

Hands measured sockets, set the pillars firm, and polished rings to hold the poles of passage; a basin gathered water like a promise, cool as the hush that follows prayer.

Curtains hung between the world and wonder, stitched with thread that caught the morning’s hush; pegs sunk deep into the earth’s remembering, so holiness might stand without a tremor.

Each piece, a story of obedience and craft, each seam a quiet answer to a calling; in bronze and linen, wood and careful law, they built a house where heaven could lean close.
