Don’t miss it
On the slow Sunday
train to Glasgow
With all the stops
Pollokshaws West
Priesthill and Darnley
With unexpected
painted sunset sky
Slowly peeling away
Sailing by
Tourists returning
Students coming back
From weekends away
People doing their shop
visiting granny
And gran
Nothing grand
But ordinary
Big and small
Moments on the
Way
Together
Faces
Coming and going
On the
Slow train
To Glasgow
Yet keeping
pace
Spurring us on
Sky-alight: fire
Glory
Traveling beside
And up ahead
The Sunday train
To Glasgow
Don’t miss it….
Light the Lamp
