The message

In a faded envelope

In a vice-like grip





The passage

Of a carriage in the dark

On a foreign trip (again)





The image

Of a figure in the trees

In the evening rain





The knowledge

Of a stranger in your midst

On a speeding train (again)





Night train





He senses

Perfume lingers in the night

Smell of French cologne





He watches

As a hand turns down the light

Leaves him all alone (again)





He whispers

In a dim lit empty room

But it's all in vain





He laughs

When he reads the note he finds

On the midnight train (again)





Night train





Journey on the night train
