the rust of you

the rust,
the orange bites in the metal,
invasive
and unrelenting
is in
your sleep, in
your hands.
the tremble
and blur of rot.
you want to do something
about it 
but can't.
no scraping, no sanding,
no blow torch
will remove
it from
the girders that hold you up.
you will
topple one day,
as all things do.
