TRAIN POEM/ JUNE 21 2008



I take this molten sun,

Falling west from the sky.

I catch it in my cupped fingers,

It saturates me with its golden hue

Staining my hands,

My arms.

A ritual in finality.

The sky is cooled by a lace of stars,

barely visible,

and I cradle this burnt remnant of yesterday—

and try to absorb it’s smoky stories, to inform

the virgin tomorrow

which lies ahead.
