With the gentle immorality
of your bituminous kiss
my iron will alloys
with your open, accepting atom
and I there am made impervious

Be I now bar or blade
you will bear my steady weight
for I am hard in my patience
and know not if I build
a tower or a cage

un mistaken ties

Last three lines are beautiful: "for I am hard in my patience/ and know not if I build/a tower or a cage". The imagery beautifully borrows from the man's work and ties them to the relations for some subtle suggestions.

okay, I dont know

exactly how to explain why I like this, but I damned sure do!

It is intelligent, but in a different way. I love the subject matter. My hubby is a welder who specializes in wrought iron and I have written several poems for him.

I will say it again, this is exceptional poetry for "this place."

I truly hope to read more from you.
