Twelve o'clock	A
Along the reaches of the street	B
Held in a lunar synthesis	C
Whispering lunar incantations	C
Dissolve the floors of memory	D
And all its clear relations	C
Its divisions and precisions	C
Every street lamp that I pass	C
Beats like a fatalistic drum	E
And through the spaces of the dark	F
Midnight shakes the memory	D
As a madman shakes a dead geranium	E
	-
Half past one	G
The street lamp sputtered	H
The street lamp muttered	H
The street lamp said 'Regard that woman	G
Who hesitates towards you in the light of the door	I
Which opens on her like a grin	J
You see the border of her dress	C
Is torn and stained with sand	K
And you see the corner of her eye	L
Twists like a crooked pin '	-
	-
The memory throws up high and dry	L
A crowd of twisted things	C
A twisted branch upon the beach	M
Eaten smooth and polished	N
As if the world gave up	O
The secret of its skeleton	G
Stiff and white	P
A broken spring in a factory yard	Q
Rust that clings to the form that the strength has left	R
Hard and curled and ready to snap	S
	-
Half past two	T
The street lamp said	U
'Remark the cat which flattens itself in the gutter	V
Slips out its tongue	W
And devours a morsel of rancid butter '	-
So the hand of a child automatic	X
Slipped out and pocketed a toy that was running along the quay	D
I could see nothing behind that child's eye	L
I have seen eyes in the street	B
Trying to peer through lighted shutters	C
And a crab one afternoon in a pool	Y
An old crab with barnacles on his back	Z
Gripped the end of a stick which I held him	A2
	-
Half past three	D
The lamp sputtered	H
The lamp muttered in the dark	F
	-
The lamp hummed	H
'Regard the moon	B2
La lune ne garde aucune rancune	B2
She winks a feeble eye	L
She smiles into corners	C
She smoothes the hair of the grass	C
The moon has lost her memory	D
A washed out smallpox cracks her face	C
Her hand twists a paper rose	C
That smells of dust and old Cologne	B2
She is alone	B2
With all the old nocturnal smells	C
That cross and cross across her brain '	-
The reminiscence comes	C
Of sunless dry geraniums	C
And dust in crevices	C
Smells of chestnuts in the streets	C
And female smells in shuttered rooms	C
And cigarettes in corridors	C
And cocktail smells in bars '	-
	-
The lamp said	H
'Four o'clock	A
Here is the number on the door	I
Memory	D
You have the key	D
The little lamp spreads a ring on the stair	C2
Mount	H
The bed is open the tooth brush hangs on the wall	D2
Put your shoes at the door sleep prepare for life '	-
	-
The last twist of the knife	E2
