Train

A rattling train, full of passengers travelling  

to their death passes through my mind.

Christ stands in the front wagon

and reads his metaphysical poems to them

and you who I’ve come to know and you,

who I never met, have your frightened eyes

glued on the windowpanes

and you, oh cursed world of mine,

coal, coal to be burnt in the bowels of earth.

And, high up, the night resembles

the Epitahpios cubicle.
