Thoughts From A Train

written by: Eoghan Lyng

@eoghanlyng

Here, in track led carriageway,
I can say one thing; or not. What,
With the sun shining out, and the trees,
In their shrouds of magic made
Heavings for free. A river has run,
Life has begun and I know
That the wind wakes, waters
A grass formed field. And I pass
Through the scenes a carriageway
Brings, and the finely put tracks
On The ground, sounding out through the chords,
I’ll remember no more, the happiness
A train brings around.

She was roaring red. Her harsh, wheezing laughter sounded like a black taxi tackling the Whiterock Road, her throat destroyed from all the fegs she used to be hoofing into her. She called over the other dinner ladies then, an army of them. Or maybe it was the curiosity of her horrid laughing that brought them over… I can’t remember.
“Tell the girls what you’re only after asking me there ni wee mawn.”
I looked between herself and the girls. Jesus Christ, I said in my own mind, Mental Mick is after stealing all my crayons that I’d been hoarding for myself there before the break...
