    Freight: Passing Through

    by Dora Odarenko
    Ohio River Islands National Wildlife Refuge, WV. Credit: USFWS, Wikicommons
    July 25, 2022
    I resonate over banks of the Ohio
               cense with soot the river
                          straitjacketed 
                                   between walls built for restraint.
    I cast my voice out over Neville Island
                              intertwine with suspect air.
    In haste and power
                I slice with authority 
                           the boredom of the highway, 
                                     its hum a faucet left unchecked.
    A presence inescapable, 
              I penetrate the tree-lined satisfaction of the Heights 
                           implode with urgency,
                                          an irritant 
                                                      relief to all because I’m moving on
    reverberating into memory
              unfinished questions
                            yearned over fields of midnight decades past
    my moan 
                 seeking the sleepless in a distant farmhouse
                 haunting the protest chords of a guitar
                 birthing our ancient freight-car hymn,
                            a promise waved 
                                          by kids in meadows 
                                                       who strain their fence poles 
                                                       to turn their backs on home.
