Can you hear it?
Steady thrum of beating engine
Coming closer
Tons of power cloaked in steam.
Can you smell it?
Wafting coal erupting skyward
Like a beacon
Dissipating in the wind.
Can you see it?
Gleaming metal, black as night
Brooding scion
Of an era soon to pass.
Can you taste it?
Residual airborne signature
Bitter memory
Of its forebear's final run.
