The clinking sounds of cranes metal chimes clang and clash and ping

zinc slabs fall

pouring molten metal into a slow bath.

Cuddling raw steel in a burning, fossilised embrace.

Electric currents stimulate cocooning, solidification.

The audible hum of electric currents vibrate in mains hum.

As the current changes direction, stimulation of molten rock.

Amalgamation

a protective layer forms

liquid metal transform

conscious

through the blur of ash

fossilised into eternity
