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
