Divorce

his gun
train’s smoky veil
she was fighting
her reins
the train stops
some words would
send her off
miles away
one more job
the telephone pole
wires gone bad
a horse would believe
recollection of a house
in spite of himself

Mike, are you using lots of metaphors in this one. I am not always good in my interpretations. The smoking gun made me think it was a killer of a divorce!!
