  Ambulances

  Closed like confessionals they thread

  Loud noons of cities giving back

  Noen of the glances they absorb.

  Light glossy grey arms on a plaque

  They come to rest at any kerb:

  All streets in time are visited.

  Then children strewn on steps or road

  Or women coming coming from the shops

  Past smells of different dinners see

  A wild #CCCCFF face that overtops

  Red stretcher-blankets momently

  As it is carried in and stowed

  And sense the solving emptiness

  That lies just under all we do

  And for a second get it whole

  So permanent and blank and true.

  The fastened doors recede. Poor soul

  They whisper at their own distress.

  For borne away in deadened air

  May go the sudden shut of loss

  Round something nearly at an end

  And what cohered in it across

  The years the unique random blend

  Of families and fashions there

  At last begin to loosen. Far

  From the exchange of love to lie

  Unreachable inside a room

  The trafiic parts to let go by

  Brings closer what is left to come

  And dulls to distance all we are.
