SEVENTEEN (In memory of Joseph Ray Dunbar and all those who died in the Pike River Mine.) Joseph Ray Dunbar was just seventeen. One week ago - turned seventeen. No doubt had a few drinks out with his mates.

He'd been through a rough patch, someone said. Who doesn't ??!

A boy from the Coast,even-eyed. But he's gotten a job now.

New boots. The making of him, someone said. You get a lot of respect with a job.

Couldn't wait !

Probably had his lunch packed. The unlined face, the big smile. Probably had a way with the girls. The local girls.

Couldn't wait !

The local girls are wearing black. Mothers and sons and husbands too. He probably ran the last hundred yards....

Joseph Ray Dunbar.

Climbed aboard and headed on down. A smile and a wave and a joke amongst men. The biggest day of Joseph's life.

You caught the train, Joseph.

You took the train too soon.

You caught the train before your time
