Laying Awake

In stillness of night
trains cut loudly through our town
with strange transcendence.

    Strong image of the train cutting the night and the inferred cutting of the town into separate parts. Excellent.
    Anyone that has heard the racket of a train passing through a silent night, mournful whistle warning, will understand the last line. RED
