Parasite (Free verse) by Christof
The fog does not lie on the field Like a shroud or a cold white hand; It rises up, a sweat, a breath, Reminds the train it is not dead, No Charon in a bone-white land But a living fluke at the very least.

Up the ladder: Sugar and Salt
Down the ladder: ab*defg

Good poeme, although the train comes in maybe a little too abruptly, and "very least" sounds a bit too chunky to end with. Love the idea though.

A fluke. Really? I did not know that.
