I am Iron

 

Light the furnace

Burn in 

Charge!

Pour, Pour harder!

Hot metal!

cooled down, cool to the touch

I am wax

Hot wax

soft, sticky 

cold carved 

glowing, red-hot, melting

Cave in, melt out 

Burn and blow

Don’t touch, too hot

Ground down, smoothed out 

Sharpened, softened 

Cracked, brittle, shattered, break

Break your iron. 

Hot, quench, cool down

I am iron

Too hot, don’t touch
