night begins to bleed

The silent, almost sleeping few

Working shoes are wrapped in

Rolled in an oilcloth bag across her knees
The swaying tram as
D

saults the morning steely
Blue -grey day is dawning

Draining the last few

dregs of sleep away
G
Over the bridge and the writhing

foul black water
D

Down through empty

corridors of stone

Each of the blind glass walls she passes

Shows her twin in sudden flashes

Which is the mirror im age,

which is real?

Crouching hooded gods

of word and number

The bucket steamed like incense coils

Across the endless floor she toils

There where of his clocks are marking time,

He who lies beside her does
not see her

how is it no one knew

That she was there
