Rust and Reverb

The skeleton of the steel mill looms over the river's slow curve, a monument to forgotten sweat and the roar of furnaces long gone cold.

Wind whistles through shattered panes, playing a hollow, haunting chord on the rusted girders and exposed beams, a ghost song for the absentee workers.

Nature reclaims the cracked concrete, green tendrils pushing through the gray, a quiet rebellion against the monoliths that once thought they could outlast the earth.
