Parked at Argentine
From twilight to dawn
A train moves slowly
through the yard -
no bells, no whistles.
Just the lowing steel wheels
rolling over resounding tracks,
like the long soft thunder
in a deepened aloneness.

Texas is on fire. RR is shutting down freight trains for at least 40 hours. Argentine feels it.

The simile "like the long soft thunder" plays well off the auditory imagery conjured up throughout the whole piece. I also like how the word "resounding" has the word 'sound' in it, further emphasising the importance of sound.
