The Long Night – Laura Tattoo

Tantamount to nothing

this train rides

back and forth forever

in a long dark jacket

The future is tunneling

through the mountain

with a vengeance

Death is burgeoning and

blasting with a pressure

that’s unrelenting

Everything will be declared

We can hide no more

from the shrill hard whistle

in the night

Our dreams will break

Our sleep will be nil
