Mindful Writing 25 - Chalk Banks

Everyone is alone in the dark;

the 43 seconds in the tunnel between

 Gillingham to Chatham turn my lying watch-

face blank. Blinking away the glare from the

chalk faced banks; the light dims sharply.

I see the wire mesh holding the crumbling

chalk banks, slowly submerged by  

lush spring growth.

Ivy has buried the lone grey signal box,

slowly spreads towards the  

patchwork platforms.
