Counting the cost
It’s raining on the beach,
the cattle should be lying down,
not crawling to the abattoir,
heavy hoofed before the bolt.
The rolling stock lurches,
lambs press their faces,
bleating through wooden slats,
sheep look on above them, lost.
Carcass pie crusts are
latticed over lime pits,
cooking in the chemical heat,
trains bring in another baker’s dozen.
