I am standing on what remains of Genisi railway station

It is semi derelict but still standing

Trains do pass through this station

But no longer stop

They have not stopped

For a number of years

In the movie Pirandello alighted from his train

The twentieth century had just dawned

But this station was already in decay

Very little moved apart from the wind

Such was the bleakness of the area

Today this forgotten station lies

In a more urban cluttered landscape

Pirandello’s final visit

Has now faded with the years
