Smoking smouldering chimneys Like old steam engines Seemingly chugging along Through the windswept, and whistling Squally, stormy skies Is it the trees brushing the clouds? Or have the houses Uprooted from their foundations As they glide along Aided by the sweeping wind As a stream of smoke Billows behind No choo choo Just the howling gusts Like ghosts Of the dying wolf moon The steam engine'd houses Are soon stationary As the wind dies down The smoke from the chimneys Now swirls upwards Blending With the grey puffball Shrouded clouds The houses Their facades Like glowing faces Widowed windows Mellowed, yellowed eyes Light up As the mouth like door Closes out the night Like a secret kiss
