Yes you have said enough for the time being
There will be plenty of lace later on
Plenty of electric wool
And you will forget the eglantine
Growing around the edge of the green lake
And if you forget the colour of my hands
You will remember the wheels of the chair
In which the wax figure resembling you sat
Several men are standing on the pier
Unloading the sea
The device on the trolley says MOTHER’S MEAT
Which means Until the end.
(David Gascoyne)
