Clockwork Beasts
Mechanical sounds behind locked doors;
A piston pounds, an engine roars.
Turning cogs, interlocked;
Spinning rods, getting hot.
Pushing buttons, pulling levers;
Wanton friction, rising pressure.
A constant grind; a hiss of steam;
An iron mind bursts at seams.
Spring creaks, metal whine;
Structure weakens; frames confine.
Oil drips in the gears;
Sprocket slips, meltdown nears.
All the parts gone awry;
Steel hearts bind and sigh.
