Abandoned Trestle
Seattle, Washington
photo by John Johnson
My eyes linger on
Vintage remnants
Once born against a
Threadbare mountain.
Refurbished land, splintered green
An abandoned trestle
Lies on sutured ground,
Ingrained by parallel seams.
Her aged black skin
Perspiring beneath a creosote sun
Is paused
For a train never sounding
Her intoned whistle.
A sloping north hemisphere
Bestowing icy Snowqualmie Falls,
White spittle dredged my skin.
3WW words are in bold.
