Another train-related one, but not written on a train this time. Instead it was inspired by an image from the British Library Flickr feed of copyright-free illustrations which I’ve mentioned before
I didn’t quite get as far as Scotland, just visiting my daughter and family to celebrate a cluster of family birthdays which are happening this week (including mine).
Caledonian Railways
Cross the border to a different country.
Wheels on rails, and a distant whistle.
Lift your hand to the misty windows
Streams turn to lakes
and fields to mountains.
Leave the carriage
at an empty station.
Take your belongings.
Mind the gap.
