“Can they never tell
What is dragging them back, and how it will end? Not at night?
Not when the strangers come? Never, throughout
The whole hideous inverted childhood? Well,
We shall find out.”

Mussels, limpets,
Husband their tenacity
In the freezing slither
Creatures, I cherish you!”

Government tariffs, wages, price of stock.
Smoke hangs under the light.”
