Cast Iron Shore (the 'Cazzy')

Where the river of tranquillity meets the lake of fire,

There arises a bronze sea, from which headless

Monsters of bad dreams emerge onto the Cast Iron Shore.

Amazing how many broken ships run aground, all rusted

And kelped by the red water.

Saint Michael looks down,

Amidst battlements and parapets, a sword in hand, ready to scrap.
