Lizz Murphy - Poem 253: Train iv.


TRAIN 


iv.

Like Irish-Australian history
How I felt connected for the first time
after that National Museum exhibition
all those achievements set out
like pavers in a path
How I felt the heft of those who have
walked this way before me
How I had to see the exhibition write about it
then travel the skies there and back again
Sit on this train ruminating
Feel closer than ever
to the rough side of it all

  1. I love that last line - it works to bring it into focus beautifully.

  2. Thanx Lucy - I'm having to think just what I meant by it at that time :) :)
