Garbage Men

Trailing steel cans
and rolling out their
long rags.

The morning is a frost
broken in clamorous relief.

Frayed holes in their eaten

a rotted job bundled in skins
of wet plastics.

A friend of my friend,

The Removal Men

cut out the rotten stairs
a dustheart of demolition,
old glass, pictures

and all the debris of a too long

under torn wallpaper,

no pulse, no water, shadows
of a stained man gone
this is the rest,all uncored.
