from winter woods we gaze into the valley
where a city stretches out along the river
like a richly woven carpet from Tibet.

a distant whistle draws the eye
past towers and steeples, stone and lead
and verdigris, to where great arches
measure out the land in red-brick curves.

cast iron scrolls festoon the full gasometer,
surround the station’s gaping mouth
from which a brightly-painted tram car,
hanging from its single rail, darts like a needle
stitching towns into one vibrant patterned whole.
