Teal paint curls away, iron oxide blooms in red, time etches the steel

Blue steel holds the name, crimson splatters stain the text, legacy in metal

Iron meets the air, rust blooms on a field of white, slow decay takes hold

Stamped in heavy steel, rust stains the old industrial name, echoes of the past

Red metal decays, orange streak across the face, texture born of time

Orange rust blooms bright, white paint flakes from ancient steel, lichen finds a home
