it might work

 it might work


the works ate them 

and they loved the heat 

in their bellies 


they talked of men

for they were the men

who worked the works


in the melt

they moulded each other

in the smoke they believed


they went home

to houses above the works

and looked down


from the slag tops

their thoughts tumbled down

bottomless 


it was

they thought

how heavy tomorrow is


yesterday underfoot

the horizon a brew steeping

sips is all we have
