In the slushy shine of winter mornings,
The harsh, huffing breaths of a
Hushed and harried engine heaving
Its hoard of hearts and hopes
Hastens the horizon, rushes
The clicking clack on slickened rails
I came across a mask one day
That caught and drew my eye
It peeked and winked behind the others
And yet it did not hide
