Can't Ignore the Train |
Steep is the water tower |
painted off blue to match the sky |
can’t ignore the train |
night walks in the valley silent |
you could swear the earth just moved |
can’t ignore the train |
dust to be kicked up in the crack faced |
idle sinister town |
screen door to the rail station |
devil in her shoe |
ran along side the wasted tracks |
hem pins darted her calves |
can’t ignore the train |
one spoiled girl with the tidiest apology |
some how wedged inside her throat |
can’t ignore the train |
patience their virtue |
but I never could abide by that |
dungeon life with electric light |
a clean towel and a basin |
mantle figures mind their place |
laughs where they belong |
through adventure we are not adventuresome |
rage to share with a wardrobe mirror |
in a room so beige and cold |
can’t ignore the train |
window days saw the children pick their |
street games on thirty afternoons |
Molly the boys are |
starting in the rhymic again |
teasing more and more… |
the second daughter |
how she fell |
young locked in Some Folk’s Prison |
made to dwell |
til they’re braiding |
her grey hair |
sitting in the wishing chair |
sitting in the wishing chair |
sitting in the wishing chair |
