Train whistle calls
still make my throat catch
my feet pause mid-walk
starting to turn toward
off and off and gone

Train whistles and the shop heater clicks
kicking on the barges move even more silent
there is one rat yet left
and here we are
boarded in behind heavy winter doors
there is talk of low water
there is talk of melted snow depending
there is talk and train whistles
and the click of the shop heater
