metallurgies:

Again the marble counter is covered
               with blood and sunlight.
Again it is slaughtering-day in the old town store.
               Again the butcher smiles,
having wiped the blood off his hands.
               Again Handel plays on the radio.
Again the branching dog rose blooms
               above the black-haired customer.
