old house floorboards creak
an hour passes on the clock
switch off lamp’s dim light
awake in half-empty bed
another night he works late
loco-motion

A poem to read aloud to a child 🙂  Kudos to my son who is a train engineer!  (Linking to dVerse Poetics prompt “Wheels of Steel” with Bjorn)
jumping on
going, gone
faster, faster
pacing a train
racing in vain
faster, faster
wheels turning
diesel burning
faster, faster
graffitied cars
glowing stars
faster, faster
vision at night
one-eyed light
faster, faster
hugging its track
never look back
faster, faster, clickety-clack!
a poem in my pocket
