Day 318 - Reading Between The Lines

READING BETWEEN THE LINES

The evening train derailed yesterday.
You could see it happening
in slow motion, as the engine
came off the tracks and lay there.
A sorry sight.

The driver died.
No one else was hurt.
Just wreckage and lives,
all turned upside down
in the moment.

And overnight the cranes came
and lifted the wreck.
Workmen cleared the track.
And life goes on as before,
for all around.

A new train arrived this morning.
Others will never know
what took place here.
It is, as if, for them, that
nothing has happened.
