Stanza 1
Fire ran horrified
from its ashes.
from its ashes.
Stanza 2
In the afterglow
cinematic shadows fled
cinematic shadows fled
Stanza 3
from flesh and blood.
Scars appeared,
Scars appeared,
Stanza 4
followed years later
by their wounds.
by their wounds.
Stanza 5
Blinks of red
dinged relentlessly,
dinged relentlessly,
Stanza 6
but there was
nowhere to stop
nowhere to stop
Stanza 7
for the train
pulling its wreckage.
pulling its wreckage.
