name it as you will

 name it as you will


fill the ladle

the ladle is full 

skim the dross 

the cupola is dropped

pouring now

the visors are up 

golden red

bloody red

then sun yellow 

pouring forth

the mould breaks 

the bot poles aim

flowing slowing

congealing now

there

stop now 

let it cool

the clamps are off

the mould falls away

in the black body radiation 

we know 

oh yes we know

how the fettling smooths 

the rough mountains 

solid as a rock 

it stands scrutiny 

name it as you will

for it has set the interpretations of

the perturbations on the sandy floor

where the footsteps walk away

for this is 

the word foundry

hot dusty and slaked

has delivered

the claimants arrive

as always

i am carried away

by it all
