I join Stan. A very affecting poem. Just one question. Should the
"rational" in "The rational for the train" be "rationale"? Or am I
missing something?

Hide and seek
There was nothing in front
Of me yet as I walked
On the path through the wood
I could see a darkness
Flitting back and forth
Like a bat searching the forest
For escape. A tinkling rustle
Like a crystal wind-chime
Stopped me. There was tinnitus
To set aside so I waited.
I hear so many things:
The rational for the train
In Madrid, the club in Bali.
I stood turning about,
Trying to see what might
Have sounded a tentative
Beauty and I heard it
Again further away
And fainter. Nothing
Stays when I seek.
Everything disappears.
