The Monday subway station’s
full of faces
fair as flowers

– See!

Then the rush, the push,
the train’s electric flexing
the shut doors’ hush

the deliberate departure

and upon the vacant station
silence settles:

the bough stripped of its petals

This is, of course, in part a misprision of Ezra Pound’s justly esteemed (and it has its own Wikipedia page!) 1913 masterpiece:

In a Station of the Metro

The apparition of these face in the crowd:
Petals on a wet, black bough.
