I walked down the short flight of stairs

And stood at level with the train

The cars lumber and groan[?]

In between them I got glimpses of the river

And [???]

These glimpses were regular and hypnotic

A short spot of light, a long dash of black

A short spot of light, a long dash of black

As I stood

My heart beat

And my lungs expanded and contracted

My lungs expanded and contracted

As my heart beat

There was one last dash of black

And the vista

That I'd been feeling was revealed
