The New Year Train Poem by nimal dunuhinga

The New Year Train



We're waiting at the platform in the New Railway Station
There the train comes and no destination?
And the banner shows it's a Youth Train!
I checked our tattered season-tickets
Old age's there and faded.
I was so sad when she asked;
'Darling, we could hide in the Goods compartment.'

*I turn but do not extricate myself, Confused, a past-reading, another but with darkness yet.-Walt Whitman
