Clouds of smoke
hanging low and leaden
below the weeping sky
Slushy snow
off-white and unpleasant
has failed bewitchment-trial
Circular traces
show worn and endless
the daily run of life
Raddled strangers
sleep in drunkenness
in trains that won’t arrive
Back home
Back home again
Back home
Back home again
Blurry figures
are passing harried
hunted by the time
Pithead buildings
show blunt and serried
monuments of mines
Steel-grey landscapes
are framed by skylines
in purple, red and pink
Cargo vessels
are gliding on grime
along the bordering brink
Back home
Back home again
Back home
Back home again
