...every morning, great is Thy faithfulness." (Lam 3:22-23)
(sonnet #MMMMMMMDCCXXXVII)
O hark now as the train's voice rumbles! Pale
Night else is dead asleep til ah, from hence
That warning whistle pierces through suspense;
And I just listen, rolling to avail
Those words across my silent tongue to scale,
Half seeing that mighty being which passes thence
As wont through woods none save the beasts fr'intents
Troll, wondring dimly over which detail?
Ha, I dunno. Like, since I canna stir
Good slumber now, should I erm, rise and *****
That effort, to ink down this thought? Tis poor.
Thus roll oer and exhale. If morn debut
Sans fanfare, say a chance to write in tour
Shall yield that note a voice? And what is new?

Trains. Don't you just love their reality AND the metaphor? Timing too,...AFTER midnight--what's that signify?
