Something Afar

Cobwebs hung in dust of stars
the moon a cracked pale marble 
balanced on a razor’s edge
Pools of sun rays n midnight bars
Phantom voices call me from afar
Things seen; springs ring echoes 
Fade as headlights blaze keen!
in the rushing rain, the rusting wind 
midday at night behind the wheel of a ruin car…
like dusted stars, they die, fall afar
moonlight in streams of neon dreams
a razor catches the fury, of fire light
a single footfall upon the floor
waiting for a ghost train 
that never comes to its destination 
lost in mist & rain
something calls from afar
