Trains ran along the sky

Once upon a time,
trains ran along the sky.

In every car--a child,
a lover, a student,
a conversation, a glance,
a song, a dance--

Huge and alive,
these steel dragons, 
roaring along
the busy boulevards.

They carried workers,
doctors, the sleepers,
the dreamers, the blind,
the light, almost deep red--
bleeding in at sunset.

Once upon a time,
trains ran along the sky
like blood flowing through
the metropolis

until the city died.
