Train Wreck (a pantoum)

Being driven by the urge to stand still
I watched the passenger train derail
It screeched and pounded with a shrill
At iron against flesh with a wail

I watched the passenger train derail
My jaw dropped to the platform
At iron against flesh with a wail
Of death screaming like a thunderstorm

My jaw dropped to the platform
In disbelief at the destructive disarray
Of death screaming like a thunderstorm
I pounded my chest, to face it this way

In disbelief at the destructive disarray
I felt a surge of Divine courage
I pounded my chest to face it this way
Firm in faith against chaos and carnage

I felt a surge of Divine courage
It screeched and pounded with a shrill
Firm in faith against chaos and carnage
Being driven by the urge to stand still
