Railway Forest               
Spring 2003


The train cuts across the pine woods where man exchanged horses for the railway.
Poor trees dirty by soot, disturbed by the howl of the locomotive.
They are like caught in a trap between an iron-vice.

A lot of them died. Few are still resisting, clinging to the ground and lifting their branches to the sky in a desperate request for silence
