An hour after the Dawn
An eastbound diesel train
The 8:18 to Montauk
Top speed
60 mph
Fifteen minutes
Out of Jamaica___
Sun climbs the sky
Approaching Babylon
A swimming pool
Empty
Until
A winter blizzard buries Long Island___
And the snow melts
Fills the pool
To the brim___
Two months
Ahead
Of today
A White Christmas
Wintah 2024___
