ugly men on the way back from work
watch the summer dress and the small body within
walk with the breeze down the steps,
down from the station while
the trains pull away,
their carriages carrying the sea and the low-tide estuaries'
breath within them
and they watch the dress and the body and the breeze
cross the road into
the sun swallowed supermarkets
and the ugly men walk home
beneath retired balconies
and the slow
beginnings of evenings.
