The train 82612
passed at 10:48 am
From the East,
may be inside
there was a girl there who I love,
It passed too fast
And left only a bouquet
On the immovable rails,
A bouquet of questions
That only know
The wild orchids,
Her flowered dress
Flew away,
Pink thoughts
stayed on the railroad.

A beautiful, snapshot-like impression of a moment full of pathos. I love the "bouquet of questions." It's an art to say so much in so few words. One I have yet to master.

Fine writing, Yann.Images of speedy train, a beautiful girl, flowered dress, railroad. Bouquet of questions sounds brillant!

Hi Jerry, love sometimes is a dilemna too, and uncertainties are painful even when looking at a train.

regards

Yann:  ah yes, a fleeting moment of love lost? More questions to ponder here than answers..I love poems with trains...train windows..
love your use of "wild orchids" like the wayward wind that can never be captured--except briefly--in a poem like yours!

Bittersweet sad...

Wonderful read!

Such a beautiful image, yann. Reminds me of the lovely old movies I watched as a child.
