Finger Trails



Night calls the train to chug
down the clacks…
A celebration of echoes
contained by grime and soot;

The compiled scent of actions worked
and intentions missed by a long shot.

Excessive length allows curves to connect
a different set of truths,
clicking down the spine,
and pulling over to the right shoulder.

Fond embrace catches me off guard.
It’s far too loud to think out here.
