A locomotive's payload

A locomotive's payload

A Poem by Hadvvl
"

an autobiography?

"
To guess and know
how far sight goes
To live unpredictably
To hold a breath
Twist a nail
Peel a lip
In uncertainty
To carry weights,
Unvalued,
to rail a path
unfathomed
and its her
driving around the globe
guided by a rope
heart plenty of hope
thus, always deemed to fall
and its her
not switching to the same path
as the locomotive's else
always tried to journey along
but dread the day 
the locomotives unload

This one is described as an autobiography, but if it is, it tells the story of the emotional life, not the chronological one. The picture that emerges is one of a seeker, maybe one of high hopes, who has experienced some setbacks. The phrase "and it's her" appears unexpectedly, twice, meaning it's significant. This may speak of bad luck in love. I don't get a sense of despair here; rather, there is the same determination to walk an individual path. The last two lines, however, bespeak an awareness that human life is not infinite, and the path will have an end. That, though, is the one thing that is true of all journeys here.
