  Kessler's Coffin Factory

  Ogden Avenue, Jersey City

  Hot days the workers

  threw open the shop doors

  and the neighborhood buzzed(發(fā)出嗡嗡聲)

  with the rip of their saws

  through the seasoned planks

  of walnut(胡桃) , birch(樺樹) , and maple.

  Pine shavings piled inches

  deep on the floor oozed sap

  over the steel-toes of the aproned(圍裙) man

  who stood hours turning scrollwork

  while near him another burnished

  stacks of brass cornices and grips,

  and the friendliest, saddled

  with a sagging belt of hammers,

  mouth bristling with nails,

  tacked nameplates(銘牌) and sterling crucifixes

  to each finished box,

  some nearly as long as grandfather's rowboat,

  others barely big enough

  to hold sister's talking doll,

  and after our fathers drove off

  to the grind of the second shift

  leaving their wives leaning out

  windows to tend twisted lines of wash,

  we kids on the sidewalk

  slapped balls and double-dutched

  through the vapor-stink of curing varnish(亮光漆)

  while over our heads the empty sleeves

  and pant legs flapped when our mothers

  pulley-squealed them closer

  through pitched beams of light

  already clogged with dust.
