Ethereal Moments The Poetry of Donavon Scott Vinson
The Long Black Train
A long black train rumbles slowly along the tracks,
sending puffy clouds of steamy white smoke into the still
hot air of the lifeless desert.
Celebratory red,white and blue bunting streams from
its dark cars and its shrill whistle sings an eerie tune
as it passes through the warm night on its sad journey.
With a screech of its brakes it slowly comes to a stop
at its woeful final destination.
A mournful crowd attired entirely in black
gathers round its resting place with tears in their eyes,
as they take one last look at their favorite son,the war hero.
