Smithy’s Fire

I have been
long past
silver thin
between my seams
when I bent
you came in
to the very place
before I
did not allow
one
with me
you became somehow
fused together
changed in
smithy’s fire
white blue furnace
forged of
one desire
and the elements
of the metal
in which we form
cast our shape
dissolved together
as we transformed

Very nice illustration.  The imagery and language suggests quite nicely other things aside from the mixing of metal.
A good read.  Thanks!
