You have reached your destination
The train speaks with friendly assurance and offers up the platform to the next stage
Here in that liminal moment,
She feels it all;
The warmth and security of the journey in the train cocoon
Travelling, you are taken somewhere
And for that short time,
You’re off the hook
Suspended in that time it takes,
Given over to only the immediate environment
It can be soothing,
If luck serves you
Here, she’s remembering,
Poised on the cusp
As the darkness of an unknown future greets her
Despite the billowing beauty of her turquoise skirt,
The grasp of uncertainty holds her tight
For a moment
