Blacksmith-

Today heard I a train, while I smoke my cigarette, I heard a train. The rumbles came trundling over mossing steel street bars, the hooves of an iron horse shattering glass floors- pebbles bickering  like stone woodpeckers on the grounds to come. The wind shudders, and apologizes for the frost on the leaves, the cracks in the ground and the holes in the sky, my cigarette part blur, awkwardness so comfortable, this plastic train i recreate, moments in-between, where we lay down to day-listen. The kinsmen that forgot call blacksmith, scared with his welded skin, protection in battle, drunken dichotomy, a hero chink dans l’amour. As great the fall of king, the fall of next in line. The only thing to have moved quicker with age, time. Lest we forget, the blacksmith here reside;(unfinished) While the angel hath walk, with long grey and black web moth wings, stalking its sleeping prey, his eyes wide open back, watching the angel pace, infesting the air with despicable knots, its dangerous to stare, but a contest never started is a contest never won, and into the eyes of hell the blacksmith hast stared- to the foot of his bed. Where a three headed dog flap its ice wings to keep hell cold. These nights in particular had been an awful one, and again the tapping, again the train.
