about the estuaries
we rattle along the line
last winter
the bridge came down
and horsepower
was the A to Y
we can’t keep our eyes open
as the landscape yields
to the iron rail
station to station
the rusty nail
holding sleepers
by the sound
words
taking us over water
the old way
our long journey home
