The Gravity of Train

The Gravity of Train

Lone train trudges along
Over predawn dark rails 
Harsh sounds
And cold dew
Over marsh
Sinks with gravity
To the rise
Taking metal from the sky
Train and earth hold down the ground
To grind out morning
The engine moves on
Dreams of waiting for a bus
To run it down
