He lights a cigarette and breathes out

Nameless

I couldn’t get off
On this station

The sidings were removed
Only weed felt at home
On this station

The building still stands
I don’t know the name
The name of t...

I Dream of Steam

the clickety clack of the board. 
Telling the time and destinations

The 'bang', 'bang', 'bang' of the carriage d...

The Darker Side

...There's a darker side
to every house
where the sun
will never shine.

Flowers don't grow
and the snow,
sometimes,
lasts into spring.

Paint won't hold,
the sidings black
and there's moss

On newspaper pages where halcyon days
Are smudged and disfigured by printing presses,
The names and the faces, the last known addresses.
