With your modernity.

Sneer. Scoff. Hit.
But naught will save
You in eternity....

To ever not be one

I will be the rail way

I will be your east way

Be the rain
I will be cascade way...

If you leave peanuts on the rail....

Leaning on the rail,
Clasping a clutch bag of dreams.
Sea spray blends with tears.
Propellers churn memories,

Start moving around like a snail
Tried to chop it off
At a very high-cost
He laid his tail onto a train’s rail...

When realizing, he was thru...

Hungry Crow
A crow sits on my window sill
Taking from mum’s hand
His daily fill
Every noon he arrives without fail
After his morsel 
flies away and sits on a rail....

Split rail lined
rough as the path trod
hands tracing, guiding
blind, no voice only splinters
maligned her journey,
taking her from one place
then returning....
