Wild Iron
Sea go dark, dark with wind, Feet go heavy, heavy with sand, Thoughts go wild, wild with sound Of iron on the old shed swinging, clanging: Go dark, go heavy, go wild, go round, Dark with the wind, Heavy with the sand, Wild with the iron that tears at the nail And the foundering shriek of the gale.

Yes it does sound a little dangerous, I think it provides a dangerous and rather exciting image ... it also has a masculine tone to it and, in a way, so does the Stafford poem.
