a woman returns to their man | poem

poetry

a man stands alone

at railway station

where wind blows

tops of flagpoles

through tunnels

that remind him

when out there, somewhere

beyond grasp

there is often

an abyss one must navigate.

ripples across a national flag

grey moon illuminations,

come on in shades.

inside the man’s stomach

a bucket of last order

beer and whiskey

fuels static time

public transport delay.
