Remnant of life past

Compacted, excavated

To burn in my forge.

I like the breadth you span before you bring it back down to daily life. Very cool.

Eyes black as midnight

Like coal buried under dusk

Reveals rocky soul

Coal is pretty cool as a part of geologic history, that’s for sure. I like the dichotomy you invoke here, it’s thought provoking.

This made me picture The Little Engine that Could shoveling its conductors into the fire to get over the hill.

A noble sacrifice for the cause.
