Railway Tracks
Read 'Railway Tracks' by 'Omer Tarin' and provide your summary and literary analysis in the comments section below.
Twice or thrice they crisscross
Across the level crossing
And the nettles cling
Stubbornly to their sides
Spreading their displeasure
Upon the broken ridges
Of crumbling soil;
But the nettles cannot go
Where railway tracks lead-
Everywhere
And nowhere
All at once
Whistling into the night
With a longing
That pierces
Isolation.
