i've always loved the sound of a train at night. how the complete blackness and silence just get ripped apart by steel, lights, and horns. the smooth and steady click-clanking of wheels over rails. one just went by as i began to write this. it's gone now, and i'm left in silence again.
i miss it.
i grew up in a house that was close to some railroad tracks. many nights i would lie in bed and hear the distant horns go by. i don't think its coincidence at all that this place where i'm living now is also by railroad tracks, and also feels safe and like home.
