The Correspondent
The Correspondent
The clacking arrivals board
gives times of trains then
sweeps them away as they leave,
new forms of semaphore.
I am the correspondent
moving through landscapes
And I will be
changed. And reporting
on it all.
Rail transport
the thunking over of wheels and
rails and oil and metal scratching.
Sometimes doesn't matter
sometimes isn't heard
as the lonely western wandering
continues.
