1928, 6*, air, disappearance, engine, left, mist, morning, movement, passing, silence, slow, sound, train, trees, whistle, William Carlos Williams
To freight cars in the air
all the slow
clank, clank
clank, clank
moving above the treetops
the
wha, wha
of the hoarse whistle
pah, pah, pah
pah, pah, pah, pah, pah
piece and piece
piece and piece
moving still trippingly
through the morningmist
long after the engine
has fought by
and disappeared
in silence
to the left
obviously, the sound, echoingly, the sound, only, the sound; from the Descent of Winter, 1928 by William Carlos Williams
