Oh Christ! The Train's a Comin'

The rash upon my wrist awaits the railroad track Nail to penetrate my flesh and hang. The cabooseman rubs his white gloves together waiting to pass the railroad Mail Station and catch the white bag that hangs. And onward the Train travels through the tunnel of Hell and then up the railroad tracks to the Heavens where stars hang like lightbulbs.

loved the physical structure of your poem as well as the last verse--'heavens where stars hung like lightbulbs.' Loved the imagery and metaphor. Have a splendid day, Sara
