SECOND SONG


Aldeburgh



Within the street about and down
I stalk the chatter of this town
I follow shoe and basket shadow
Into car and onto wall
Counters edge, hotel or hall

From harbour back and into house
They burst forth with buying and its choice
With pram and dog and boot and stick
They come to garage, garden shed,
Friend to friend, and there is bed

They move about in day and dark
And as they pass my pavement place
I try to stare into their face,
To ask them why their eyes are full
And are they certain of their will?

Their clothes are buttoned to the wind
They could not tell if I had sinned
They choose their scarves and hats with care
They do not know if I am there
Their bustle blows and binds me out

But there is wind, so I can shout
And cry
And be without
