Jeff Connelly Poet I do not know?

Industrialization

what to
do with
this word

what to
use it
for

for for
is the
word

stoke fire
blow bellows
heat til hotter

take with tongs
for it's almost
molten for to

be hammer plied
forty times speak
the anvil chimes

shaping perhaps
flattening exactly
not now known

at this time for
for can become
foreshadowing

but at this
beginning
it is being

forged for
what it's
worth but

dip it in 
the water
bucket as it

steams to
become
solid

and become
the word
forage

all but the
Ulfberht
remains

so they can
wait while we
hunt and gather

once again
