The Review - Poetry 2008

 

Cover Art: Babs Laukat

Locomotive
Patricia Nelson

Behind the widening light
The plain, changeable cars
Shine like barrels.
Or the rain’s direction.

A train says what the eye says:
Words go by in strokes, not stops.
Perspective equals meaning.
Change repeats, horizon rattles
A single, sliding present…
