Marathon-(t)rain

85 16 22
                                    

Heartbeat of a train
where it goes and when it strays,

Wildflowers wilding
at the branches of grey-metal veins,

Kites gliding
in umbrella-pauses and unasked rain,

Black brackets stinking
grow greener to a pollen dream,

The aurum nose ring shrinking
to a mole on her deciduous face,

The spiked-style's ruined when
he runs the rail,

I want to slow
his heartbeat down
only to catch his name.
