Magnificence to delight!
Promenading Nature's sexy sprawl,
thrillers, fillers, spillers line the garden wall!...

that’s when loneliness embraced me
the lover I recognized...

Hopping a Freight Train in WheelingThe freight train puffs a veil of smoke into the night.
The iron rails rumble.
Be still.
Now.
There it is, the engine's call, fading
To the distance.
Between shadows, a lean figure grips tight to the rolling steel,
His pack worn...

on beautiful, quite nights similar to these?
