"waggons" poems
The Thames nocturne of blue and gold
Changed to a Harmony in grey:
A barge with ochre-coloured hay
Dropt from the wharf: and chill and cold
The yellow fog came creeping down
The bridges, till the houses’ walls
Seemed changed to shadows and St. Paul’s
Loomed like a bubble o’er the town.
Then suddenly arose the clang
Of waking life; the streets were stirred
With country waggons: and a bird
Flew to the glistening roofs and sang.
But one pale woman all alone,
The daylight kissing her wan hair,
Loitered beneath the gas lamps’ flare,
With lips of flame and heart of stone.

After the Sun comes out
How it alters the World—
Waggons like messengers hurry about
Yesterday is old—
All men meet as if
Each foreclosed a news—
Fresh as a Cargo from Batize
Nature’s qualities—
2.7k
they look into each others eyes and
roots sink deep in the after-glow
in the blink of an eye
waggons roll in front of you
and whoes to say it doesnt have its
place
you’ve seen them the strange ones
who in the bilnk of an eye
are open to all those
found in crammed places
there also waggons roll but outwards
to open windows.
