its orange scales flaking into the swift water below.
A slow digestion of iron and atmosphere,

a quiet invasion that asks for no surrender,
weaving green threads through fractured pavement
where hurried footsteps used to echo.

a rusted throat singing of the salt
that drifted inland when the storm broke.

its sepia tones bleeding into the white borders
like tea spilling over a porcelain saucer.

The forest reclaims the iron spine,
emerald moss swallowing the bolts
where steam once hissed against the cold,
and the phantom whistle is just the wind
