Navigating Freight

Heavy boxes

Virtual passports

Tagged with cities

And full of sorrow

Cold metal

And knotted wood

Loaded with capital

And heavy hearts

Smuggled

Whistling caution

Announced

Lonely expedition

Embarking 

Adagio rolls

An arthritic start

Momentum expanding

Its ponderous service

Two more whistles

And blackened ghosts

Forced escape

But solemnly linger 

Hanging in blue

Honored credence 

Expectation accepted

Faithful journey

Face the countryside

With brackets

Proverbial

Smooth tongue

Riding latched

Her braces

A sensual partnership

Intimate trust

Character unwavering

For duty steadfast

Continuum 

Unglamorous soot

Timely movement

Scheduled pace

Unknown landscapes

Forthcoming 

The next bend 

Whistling
