i love it.

particularly:

It sat pining for the leaving behind of metal ancestors
And for the heat of the smith to be lost in the icy dawn,

Would it take on the scents and the call of the soil,
Or rust and crumble away with time, between the tall and strong.

that part absolutely nailed it for me. fantastic imagery. the link between the shape and the words is great; the meaning slowly reveals itself as you read it; i found it both satisfying and enjoyable. i know that this sort of adulation isn't really 'constructive'... but hey, deal with it.
