Valentine’s Day

Chelmsford Railway station
Downline
Opposite, Upline
Shivering bodies
Self-compile in clusters
Along the pallid dais
Default locations
For uploading
Onto frosty City trains
Ice to Ice
Foresighted-less
This preset few
This band of breathers
Esprit de corpses
The 05:58 arrives and
The platform un-clots
Replaced in moments by tickets
For the 06:10
If ever our hearts had
Been as regimented
This rose would be on the 06:25
And its perfume on the 06:40
