You have reached your destination



You have reached your destination 


The train spoke with friendly assurance and offered up the platform to the next stage 


And 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
