The Great Canadian Lonely Midnight Train Whistle

THE GREAT CANADIAN LONELY MIDNIGHT TRAIN WHISTLE 770414/OTT

By CARL EDGAR LAW
( c ) 1992

Night freight,
cavilling fractious
tolls the bell, moans
plangently

These fingers of snow
in the furrows

Metal-clad moon bursting
the chains of the trees
falling at morning with
a frangible sigh

The Fisher King cannot
heal here, his
wistful coupling is a fruitless
knell

freight-moan
tolling the hours

--30--
