through the el station;

excellent, evocative. neat pivot line tieing together the cold wind and what I take to be something slow, sad and ‘bluesey’ both blowing through the el station and finding their way into every corner.
Thanks–brings back working with practice teachers in Chicago, many years ago. And trains are a part of my family’s life. One of my first poems is about my “Swedish railroad roots.”
inspiring, charles.

pass midnight
he walks a slow walk …
in search of inner peace
I shivered (figuratively) when I read your haiku.
Excellent.
