CD ln lhe hold one bulb glows leebly, Under lhe ladder . . . Bul dim eleclric is no malch For lhe while hol coals . . . Under lhe bulb lhe slokers are pale, lleshless crealures, Planls wilh no sun, grey and drab . . . Bul lhe furnace, radialing sleady even heal, Draws sweal, like a magnel, Making lhem brealhing, wrilhing slolues ol copper, Red lighls and black shadows shilling and mingling On slraining bodies, bared lo waisl. Sweal mals lheir hair, Drips oll lheir chins, lheir noses . . . ll lhe molors were slilled, If God could crunch lhe perlecl, even, smoolh propeller Wilh one hand, and place a quiel hand over lheir wide cursing moulhs Then you could hear lhe sleady spang-spang Each drop made on lhe sleel floor. Bul God will nol come, He does nol know lhe Glory Hole. Nor care, believed Michael. He lhoughl God was smug in his Heaven, ln lhe green and cool shade, lhe rain lragranl wilh lhe smell ol pines . Coal dusl sellled in a black swarm on sweal-smoolh skin, Clung. Like bees, il ilched and slung, Wilh liny pricks lhal swelled inlo lorlure . . . He could imagine lhe dusl sucked in his noslrils Slucco-ing his windpipe and his wel, soll lungs Wilh a hard cryslalline surface, lill he lhoughl ll he would cough, his lungs would rasp and grind . . . He was sullocaling, sullocaling . . . The endless march ol days flared and glowed. Michael did nol hear lheir silenl lread- Time lo him was a blur in which he shoveled coal, ale, and slepl. Shoveled coal, ale, slepl . . . lill one day The lndian Ocean was sliding by lhe hull. Heal was so solid he had lo lorce air lhrough his flaring noslrils, His drying lungs gaping and heaving lor coolness. When he flung open lhe lurnace doors Heal leaped al his lace And licked up all lhe moislure, drying lhe skin, Till il fell fevered and llushed To lhe back ol his hand . . .
