heads & gates
in the company
of the hierarchy
of the furnace men
sweat red metalled
muscled veined sweat
above a leather apron
oiled with that sweat
tap the furnaces
flows the metal
the slag
the heads
the gates
clamped and hosed
dust smoking dust
WHAM!
the bottom has ignited
drying ovens rumble
billie cans of sherbet salt
the moulders’ slake
the gantry’s thumbs-up
hooks-up the eyed ladles
shield the devil red
wire loops flail time
the last mould is cast
drop the cupola
WHAM!
WhoooOOOooo
