Fingerprints on an Abandoned Rail
Fingerprints on an Abandoned Rail

It’s about time
this humble little rhyme
all the years that have passed
and what our futures cast

like shadows on the wall
mere spectres of us all
we leave a phantom trail
of prints upon a rail.


Line count: 8
Rhymed couplets
For Express It In Eight, 2024
Prompt: It’s about time.
Note: “Fingerprints on an abandoned rail” is a quote from Bob Mortimer that just fits for some unknown reason.
