English term or phrase: skeletal cranes
a dormant construction site, populated with skeletal cranes raising adolescent towers, stands smugly, silently, an in dubious approval. It wears the green and blue hues of the night. It knows not whence it came. It will lend her the benefit of the doubt. It will accompany her on the long, hard, painful ride in a car filled with chums. Sera’s arms are weak, but her pulse is strong. She smacks shut her lips and wits for a trick.
