From a distance like a worm
as if out of eternity
it crawls along the infinite ladder fallen to the ground
swells slowly into a gargantuan metal serpent
growling and snorting fumes it arrives
loud speakers declare its presence
I stare at her - she walks away
raucous voices around me go muffled
and I stand in a crowd of shadows
she sits in its belly, iron bars cross my vision
it’s her cage and my prison
on spheres of tides unseen.
It growls and snorts again
wheels beneath its belly roll with an ugly din of tearing away
metal serpent swerves and becomes a worm
I stand alone among the shadows on the callous platform
and it vanishes into eternity......
I long to crush its head
but it always took her away
and bruised my heel.

Dark, resentment for what it carries into otherwise quiet, bringing unwanted pestilence.... and then it having the bothersome duty in taking away your love, one you wish could remain.
its the freaking train man....I know.
