Detrimental Train Ride Poem

Drowning in distance Homesick lips Chapped and bewildered Skin pale Faded by friction Squinty hands Hold sunken eyes blinded Voices echo Under chewed fingernails In throbbing vocal cords ash ingested leaves feet tapping rhythms mindless in nature corresponding with denim treble between legs withdrawing sunrise water fills my mind’s puzzles deliberate and violently melts into my sleep so i can dream again

So many wonderful lines in this poem. The title got my attention. I am a locomotive engineer and just had to read this one! The last stanza was amazing!!!
