Homecoming
"hear the train"?
he lifts
his head
and listens
thinks
yes he thinks
he knows one of his boys
is coming by train
but when
this boy disappears
without any warning and reappears
that way too
smelling different, not like home
but still....
no way for Red to know
but he knows
the sound of the train
means he might be coming
today?
is it today?
