The TGV to Marseille

September 7, 2018/in Poems /by ian

A picture window on the world
This silver ribbon ride
A swift and silent sweep
Through the French countryside
Live with poplars
Powerlines
Fields
A fluid landscape
Vivid
Unreal

Frame by frame
The vista rolls
Through a fold of colour and light
From a lounge chair
At a coffee table
In the falling veil of night
