THE DREAM OF TRAINS

We used to dream

of a twilight train,

That traversed our yard

with it's haunting refrain,

We learned that we shared this

long after the fact,

And Casey Junior

stopped in his tracks.

 

And now we both hunt

the tracks of the trains,

That traverse our property

though they aren't the same...

as Polar Express

or Hogwarts

or Starlight...

All in the hopes of an echo of twilight.
