Fault line fractures underneath
Tension grinding through the teeth
Bedrock buckling in the deep
Strata shifts where quiet sleeps
Iron core
under weight Steel against the crush of fate Fractured spine will not
yield
Standing in the shattered field
Compression rising bar by bar
Atmosphere of grinding iron
Columns strain against the load
Every boundary overthrown
Iron core
under weight Steel against the crush of fate Fractured spine will not
yield Standing in the shattered field
Yield.
Never yield.
Underneath the monolith Breathing through the fracture. (rahhh)
Torque and torsion snap the frame Bearing witness to the strain Rising
upward through the stone
Iron core under weight Steel against the crush of fate Fractured spine
will not yield Standing in
the shattered field
