Steel Look

Sorry about the silence
Your words are an open door
To a room with no exit

It doesn't mean nothing
Its space is thick with tones
It's stone air un-carved

Let go the sharp edges
Crack those flat times
Give scars their due
Among deep fissures
And fine lines
They're yours and mine

Thanks for the steel look
It doesn't break
It only heats in the forge

Alone these hardened thoughts
Are trapped in my skull
They clang and ring and ring and ring and ring and ring ring ring ring ring ring ring ring ring

Thanks for the steel look
It doesn't break
It only heats in the forge

Let go the sharp edges
Crack those flat times
Give scars their due
Among deep fissures
And fine lines
They're yours and mine
