Awaiting Railway Stop

The midnight train
ascends up railway wire…
Winter snowflakes.

On this long road
of harrowing depth
ascends.
Artificial
Light lasts all night long.
Gazing.
Holding hands with my
mistress, riding on.
Sleeping.

The midnight train
ascends up railway wire…
Winter snowflakes.

The sounding flute
hums its farewell tune…
Winter snowflakes.

To think that in all
my life, I can’t
think of
A time I’ve been
With my mistress this
long wait.
And on this train
I long await
trainstop.

The distinction between ascending
And the world of descending,
Is lost in a blurry slog,
Where Yomi awaits, if even that,
Into a world of eternal darkness.

The railway continues
Into the path of darkness.
As if spiriting away.
