Steam Engine

Sloe
Locomotion

On this frosted
Christmas
Mourn

Cold
Fresh
&
Sharp

Snow flakes drift in the
Brezze
Like notes falling Melodiously
From an
Angels Harp

While all the while dancing in reflection
on the rays from the fairylights
That Highlight
This Streetlight
From
The veil of this Dark
Night


Billowing Clouds
of Steam
Rise
Like a
Phoenix

And Black sweat and Monoxide
Gas
Whip up
A cyclone
Above the
Rooftops

Like a Festive Fire
Has Engulffed
All of this
And
Yellow Windows
And
Steel Clang
On the Tracks

And the Mourning
Braes in this
Red Dawn
Of
Noel

With
it's
Coca Cola Cheer

Coal for Christmas
Again

Is fuel
For the Engines
Fire

And A change of Platforms
And Direction
At the Next Stop

I sit here on then
Train

And
Grieve the Woes
Of the journey
And

My Mistakes
Along
The
Way
