Train Tracks in Winter – A Poem

Have you ever heard a fire

roar like thunder?

Almost like a loud hiss

As steel // tracks // stutter // kiss

Down rails of wonder

Down trails of time

you might not

want to remember

Like fire on ice,

It’s like a nice // slow // burn

With cold smoke

as memories

slide // collide // divide-

Steel and water grind

and freeze ti-ti-ti- time.

The watch’s hands

become the hunter //

as the sun chases

tomorrow’s shadow-

Have you ever heard a fire

roar like thunder?
