Turning to Uncle Dai I wanted to speak but Motes flew sticking to his hat, greasy and soot blackened. Third generation drivers hat made from good dirt. Embers, hot, stole the air from lungs. They orange stars underfoot so surely had the tunnel transported us to the Southern hemisphere. Steam and boiling water releasing valves, driving pistons after clanging gates. Ruled over all and any utterance until That single silence born on the flash of ivory in the fireman's face. Son of the driver. To I playing role of grandson to follow and Dai's dar something in the smoke.

I called him Uncle Dai
Turning to Uncle Dai I wanted to speak but Motes flew sticking to his hat, greasy and soot blackened. Third generation drivers hat made from good dirt. Embers, hot, stole the air from lungs. They orange stars underfoot so surely had the tunnel transported us to the Southern hemisphere. Steam and boiling water releasing valves, driving pistons after clanging gates. Ruled over all and any utterance until That single silence born on the flash of ivory in the fireman's face. Son of the driver. To I playing role of grandson to follow and Dai's dar something in the smoke.
