TO TAKE A TRAIN

( Davide Riccio ITA - PRENDERE UN TRENO )

 

 

 

To take a train between comers and goers

Knee to knee in some old coach

To unbosom oneself a little.

 

To look out thoughts you have in

The ballast runs as past does…

To withdraw into oneself a little.

 

Memoirs comfort at tatantatà rocking

On the ghost of a dear children’s lullaby.

 

From station to station

On guides of iron

To relax oneself at last

At the certainty of coming to a place.

 

Cardiacal contractions

Arterial pulsations roll on the railroad

And out of every tunnel

 

To be born again.
