I Called for Your Train (An Unfinished Piece) – Written August 1999 (Aged 24)

I Called for Your Train

i called for your train, but it never came
it never arrived,
and, it was not like we met,
just for a few minutes
i never had a chance to say goodbye
because i never had a chance to say hello
the tain may have been distant
a rumble in the hills that rise in my brain
it may have been arriving,
which is why i shook in my frame
but i stood still on my wheels , the train never came




James Garratt – August 1999
