Great little poem that really captures a moment. Some wonderful expressions: smiles like the first light of dawn, 'a station`s fractured silence', the stale thunder
of the coming train.
It seems written so effortlessly, but I bet it wasn't.

http://www.abctales.com/story/gilbert/stigmata Thanks for flagging this up-glad you liked it. It has gone through many re-writes, with some very good input from Chant- (THE Chant, legend of this parish), for which I`m grateful.

Sorry-have just noticed this. The title refers to the fact that the narrator is metaphorically "bleeding". Maybe a bit over dramatic? I dunno.

Gilbert ty for explaining your thoughts behind the title - i don't think it is over the top at all, but i like the fact that on this site i can ask poets about their work - i am learning so much about poetry i may even be inspired to give it a go. ty once again for a beautiful poem Juliet
