The 2:00 Train

Through the swelter
through the screen
a train engine
bellows
the train rumbles faintly

as i,
sweating
not sleeping
i yearn for the tracks

to feel the thunderous rush
the raw power of the steel
metal on metal
churning ferociously

they become a rough-hewn drone
from afar
muffled by the night
