Bite-Sized Reflection

In Memoriam John Coltrain - Michael Stillman

Listen to the coal
rolling, rolling through the cold
steady rain, wheel on

wheel, listen to the
turning of the wheels this night
black as coal dust, steel

on steel, listen to
the cars carry coal, listen
to the coal train roll

First of all. Gorgeous. Second of all, each stanza is actually a haiku. Genius.
