Lizz Murphy - Poem 260: Train xi.


TRAIN

xi.

Remembering
How after the event the famous poet
entertained in a broad brogue
They were all Protestants and they all walked like that
his back bent over his knees buckled his arms reaching
like the men who had carted cement most of their lives
He was sixteen his first job he lasted a day
His wife the musician said simply near my ear
Oh he’s well oiled
