Waiting at Hyde Park Station
the loud absence of traffic clanking,
the subtle volume of cricket lust,
the train tracks fading into oblivion
and the bugs persisting beneath,
a deplatformed sandwich moldering
with its flock of devout ants,
moths praying to halogen suns
metered all the way down the platform,
and the cold bench merging with my tailbone,
this cardigan vastly insufficient for it all -
my Thunder arrives!
on the other side of the tracks
Unbinding
there was a snap and nothing was true,
the snow became water in snow in water,
I felt the gratitude that kills tomorrow,
the flakes lived forever in that instant.
I no longer needed to trust my eyes,
I was blessed to see.
