Crampons for security

You’re galvanised with energy

I’m corroding, turning rust to dust


Your stainless sheen is shining

My pitted mind is blind


You’re climbing cliff-tops surely

I’m using crampons for security


Your certainty is widening

Yourself you’re swiftly finding


My broken shafts are not for laughs

These words, they’re just the gas
