High Bridge


 High Bridge

John Clare Stokes


Nights late I awake to the long, long sound

Of the train whistling his high bridge crossing

High in the palisades of Kentucky

The thoroughbreds in the manicured fields

Prancing at the long, long announcing

Drawing me again to the Bluegrass heights 

Awakening in a long, long sleepless night.
