Crystal towers that wax and wane
through the hissing wind and rain
burning flashes jump the lines
charging fury breaks the sky
Rusted, grey or blackened forms
paternal they stoop above
fingers offering the breeze
wires to tense and then release
Every man in every house
fed with power they could not dream of
Bolted steel all rutted, posted, stamped by nation
formed creatures over town and dale they creep
turning, twisting, starting over field and fountain
idyll of better times watching o’er the mountain
L2, L5, breaking forms from metal grids
every culture has its numbers
coded in its infastructure
coded in electric slumber....
Conquering the land, mapping every shore
boundaries are claimed by the steel armed sect
beautiful they are, like only ugly creatures
who stick around long enough can one day be.
