Hospital train
Definite article
Infinitive of rain
The carriage is filled with emptiness
The body which had lain on the floor for three days
No longer shudders from the sound of the wheels
hitting the rails
Time is draining from the station walls
Here in the basement people with weapons are hiding
They will kill the air they will eat the names
of the murdered
The carriage hurtles into the unknown
The world revolution of the revolutionary world
Messy red tumor of the bloody world
From the left edge of the sky the right rain falls
And metallic rain falls from the naked air
And acidic rain falls from the trees in
endless autumn
Old-hoarse voice stopped the stop for the sleeping
And the dead and it is not clear who is who
Sleeping death made of smoke and cigarette butts is
chasing the train
Nothing is certain
Everything is flooded
(Previously published in Tidings of Magpies)
