Rusty Iron

The noise of living growth against rusty iron
Blasphemous like an inverted crucifix
Just a clanging shutter [says the iron]
A dissipation of energy turned outward

A glittering constellation of sucking breath
That bright flickering flame of infancy
Rude empires reaching toward horizons
Freedom echoing down the open road

Like a newborn song eager to conquer
They pull aside the curtain called wonder
Celebrating, midst the constancy of iron
Singers of holy melodies yet unwritten
